Trickster's Point
“He thought about the shot Nick Jaeger had fired at him. To protect his sister, Nick had said. To protect something he loved.
What was it that the person who’d murdered Jubal had been protecting? What was it they loved enough to kill for, twice? What did Lester Bigby love that much? His investment? His father? Or was it his brother, an old love whose loss had lain festering in his heart for decades and then exploded in a tragic mess? Or maybe it wasn’t just one of these things but all of them to...gether, braided in a thick rope of confused emotions that bound him to an inevitable end.
An inevitable end. The phrase sounded familiar to Cork, but why? Then he remembered. He realized those had been Jubal’s words, or nearly, spoken on the day that Cork had put in place the final stone in the wall that had been building between them for years. They’d been said in the late spring, just after Jubal had publicly announced his intention to run for governor and put forward his platform.
Politics, from the beginning, had agreed with Jubal Little.MoreLess
