Another Man's Treasure (a Romantic Thriller) (Palmyrton Estate Sale Mystery Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Reicker’s stove. 11:57! Shit, I’m going to be late for my appointment with Coughlin. I shout to Jill to hold down the fort, and peel down the driveway, telling Ty I’ll be back with lunch soon. I charge into Sol’s ten minutes later and spot Coughlin instantly. He’s sitting with his back to the wall, eyes scanning the room as if he expects Mafia hit men to knock over the bagel bins and shoot up the deli case at any minute. His impassive face shows only a flicker of interest when I drop into the other chair at his table. There’s a file folder in front on him on the table. “Sorry I’m late. I got a little held up at the sale I’m running.” He nods. “I hear your man Griggs was tackling the customers. Whatever happened to service with a smile?” My stomach clenches. “How do you know about that?” “There’s a car keeping an eye on the place. The officer was about to break it up, but he said you had the situation under control. Said the perp was a kid. A kid you seemed to know.” Coughlin looks at me expectantly but I’m not going there. “Just a kid from the neighborhood. He took a flowerpot on a dare. A prank—nothing to worry about.” I squint at him. “Detective Farrand said he’d have someone swing by the sale, but I didn’t notice a patrol car on the street.”
