Who Glares Wins (Lexi Graves Mysteries)
“Grabbing my cell phone, I hit “speed dial” and waited for Solomon to answer his cell phone. He did so on the first ring, almost as if he knew I would call this very moment. It was spooky.

"Okay." "I checked the insurance and crime reports and everything tallies there. It's all small stuff: electronics, jewelry, cash, as we know, so it might be worth checking out local pawnshops or fences.MoreLess
