City Of Darkness (City Of Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
Cecil rounded a corner and, to his relief, saw Georgy resting on a barrel on the opposite side of the street. “Morning, Guv’ner,” Georgy greeted him. “Found ‘ol Micha.” “Good work. I knew I could count on you.” “Tis Mary who can count on me, no offense to you, mate. Right this way.” The two set off toward the water. “You send the letter?” “It will be delivered within the hour. You’re going to have to make a few stops before the Pony Pub. They’re ladies, and I thought they might be more likely to meet you if I chose a tea room in a more middle-class part of town.” “Me? You wanna be there?” “It’s my damn pale eyes, Georgy, you know they make me too easy to pick out of a line,” Cecil said. “But you have that nice common face, you know? Hard to describe in case the coppers get nosy.” “And two of ‘em? Mary just had one sister, dinna she?” “Society ladies never go anywhere without a companion,” Cecil said, thinking he was certainly betting heavily that Leanna’s guilt would compel her to come along.
