Confessions: The Private School Murders - Plot & Excerpts
I knew from experience that the room was furnished with velvet chairs, usually grouped into conversational circles, and that there were tapestries and photos of old New York everywhere, but all you could see today were the tenants of the building standing shoulder to shoulder as Officer Frank from Pest Control stood at the front of the room. His expression was grave. “This is the latest intruder,” he said. “We’re very fortunate that there have been no casualties.” He held up a creature by its tail, clearly dead. It was a huge orange-and-black-patterned lizard, around two feet long. “Folks, this is a Gila monster,” Officer Frank announced. “It is indigenous to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its bite isn’t lethal, but it’s painful and would probably paralyze a person for a good long time.” He tossed the lizard into a cardboard box and went over to a blueprint of the Dakota that was set up on an easel.
