Book Excerpt
Waking up
next to a dead guy can ruin your whole day.
At least
interior decorator Miriam Stokes’ thought so.
The
Philadelphia Police Detective whose name she
couldn’t remember talked soothingly to her, making her feel,
not
better, but at least calmer.
As calm as
anyone could feel after finding a dead body.
How did she get herself into these
things?
Sipping
coffee Miriam didn’t remember asking for, she
eyed the cop as they sat in a flowered living room. Her
friend Joe’s
neighbor owned said living room. The friend she just found
dead.
She tried to
keep eye contact with Detective. . .Dasher,
Dancer? Some reindeer name.
She could see
him clearly now, her vision returning to
normal.
“So you woke
up and he was dead. Didn’t you hear a
shot?”
After
swallowing the scalding liquid, she answered him.
“No detective. I do sleep very soundly, but I think I had
help from
this bump on the side of my head.”
To indicate
the injury, she pulled away the bag of ice
she held to her head. The ice had appeared sometime after the
first
patrolman. The lump
began to throb, but Donner only glanced at her
head. Instead, he scribbled some notes in a small pad.
How many
murders does one have to see to get so
matter-of-fact about them? Miriam
shuddered.
“Could I at
least get dressed? I feel a little
vulnerable in my pajamas,” she told him.
Donner. The
detective had introduced himself as Donner.
He looked her over as if making a decision. He nodded,
glancing
around the apartment. “Do you have any
clothes?”
She nodded
towards Joe’s apartment.
“When they
remove. . .” he murmured, then grimaced.
She caught his meaning.
He turned his
brown eyes back to her. “We’ll work
things out. I just have a few more questions for you. Then
we’ll go
downtown.”
Miriam
nodded. Who would do this to Joe?
“How long
have you known the deceased?”
