Three-Day Town
“in the world—a statement that is not modest but has a good deal of truth in it.—The New New York, 1909SIGRID HARALD—SATURDAY NIGHTHad Sigrid realized that Sam Hentz was on call that evening, she would have pulled in Sergeant Tildon, with whom she was more at ease even though Hentz was the best on the squad and the one who had taken over for her when she fell apart after Oscar Nauman’s death. Despite her slight seniority and better fitness reports, he was a year older and had resented her from t...he first because he had expected to get that promotion. He had not bothered to hide his resentment, but she had let it ride until he goaded her into losing her habitual cool. Out of the hearing of others, her normally calm gray eyes shooting sparks of ice, she got in his face and in a low cold voice said, “That’s the last time you question my authority, Hentz.
