Antler Dust (The Allison Coil Mystery Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The wind gained strength from the empty, cold caverns of a city on a weekend.The office was near the top of Denver’s tallest building. She rode the elevator admiring the sheer trust involved in letting cables and pulleys and motors and switches boost you hundreds of feet in the sky. Were there any parts in this machinery that could freeze up? Would she freeze up? Could she pull the trigger and sue the bastards? Were they really bastards? Weren’t people doing their jobs? Doing their best? And now she would be given money in exchange. In exchange for what, exactly? In exchange for surviving? Really?Ambivalence was the word of the day. Her guts and heart were filled with unadulterated ambivalence, garnished with a few drips of creeping dread. Mostly, she wanted out of the elevating steel cube and the skyscraper. Perhaps at the top of the tower she could hop on a zip line back to a place where her blue jeans would be on a horse, not in a lawyer’s leather office chair.The reception area featured a staggering view of the mountains, from Mount Evans to the west and north to the Wyoming border.
