BLACKDOWN (a Thriller And Murder Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
It consisted of four stone-walled cells that were reputedly three hundred years old, and used frequently to house drunks, breakers-of-the-peace, and the occasional horse or cattle thief. A large oak door slammed shut with the sound of dull finality on Thomas Blackdown. His many questions going unanswered. ‘I want to speak to someone in charge!’ he insisted at the barred window of the door as Colonel Gardiner walked away. But the officer did not reply. Blackdown thumped the ancient door. ‘Damn you, Gardiner! Did you hear me?’ ‘Keep your voice down, Captain,’ said Gardiner coolly, and ascended the worn stone steps to street level. ‘Keep it down,’ echoed the guard posted at the door, who waited till Gardiner had disappeared before taking his musket off his shoulders and leaning it against the wall. Blackdown gave an irritated snort and sat on the filthy straw-filled mattress that rested on a metal frame.
