The Resurrection Man (2012)
“Setting up this appointment hadn’t been the easiest task he’d ever tackled; Bartolo Arbalest was a cagy man, as he had every reason to be.
What had turned the trick were Brooks Kelling’s name, the news about Percy Kelling’s wife’s parrot, and the real clincher, George Protheroe’s appalling death. Brooks was going along to testify that Max was really who he claimed to be. Strategy called for the two to meet at the Washington statue near the Arlington Street entrance to the Public Gardens and wal...k the rest of the short way together. They were scheduled to arrive on the Resurrection Man’s doorstep at half-past two on the dot; Mr. Bittersohn must understand that Mr. Arbalest had to be extremely careful about who got let into his atelier.
Mr. Bittersohn understood perfectly, he was rather surprised that Arbalest hadn’t put up more of a struggle. Maybe it was the way old George had been killed that tipped the scales, there was something awfully persuasive about a spear through the heart.MoreLess
