Dead In The Rose City: A Dean Drake Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
I faced mine by returning to the site of the chemical explosion that was supposed to leave me dead. Instead, it ended up giving me a new lease on life. All that was left of the trailer was shards of metal and glass. The spot where it once sat was charred, as was much of the surrounding area. I searched for clues the police techs might have missed, but came up with nothing that would point a finger at whoever set me up. As far as I was concerned, The Worm, who had already tried unsuccessfully to take me out, had failed again. I still had an uneasy feeling that Jessie Wylson was more or less a fall guy for something or someone bigger—and badder. Meaning the trailer explosion could just as easily have been meant for him. There were plenty of suspects who had a motive to want to see us both dead. I drove away from death’s door and headed back into the city’s core when the rearview mirror told me I had company. A black pickup truck was on my tail and seemed anxious to introduce itself to my Bronco.
