Watching the Ghosts (2012)
“She sounded breathless, as though she’d been running. Or maybe it was just panic.
‘I’ve got to drop the money off this evening. They’re calling back later to say where.’ He told her to take a deep breath and stay calm. He was on his way to get the money.
He walked through Singmass Close, past the small modern houses, built in jagged rows with overhanging windows like their medieval counterparts. It was a nice development in a central location and Jack only wished it had been one of his. The cob...bles gave way to tarmac as he passed beneath another archway and walked the fifty yards to the Georgian town house with twin bay trees beside the open glossy black front door and Creeny and Co. etched on the glass inner door leading to the hallway.

It smelled of money and money was the one thing Jack needed at that moment.MoreLess
