While Other People Sleep
“Glenn—prosperously plump, silver haired, and trimly bearded—beckoned for us to stop and move in closer to him.
“You may think the mess is resolved,” he said to me, “and it is, as far as Carlton's concerned, but this won't be the end of your troubles.”
“I know. The woman's going to keep it up, escalate her activity.”
“Exactly.”
The woman, wearing her Sharon McCone disguise, had approached Carlton Maxwell on Saturday night at a club owned by the son of one of his society friends; he spent the rem...ainder of the evening with her and took her to his home. There he showed her his valuable stamp and coin collections, and she spent the night; she slipped out early Sunday morning, and it wasn't till noon today that he discovered the coins— which the police this afternoon found in the driver's-side door pocket of my MG—were missing. Since no one else had been to Maxwell's home in the interim, it was obvious who had taken them; the police and the judge who had issued the search warrant gave the matter top priority.MoreLess
