GUNNER (ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
Maples had spent the previous five minutes explaining, in clinical detail, how he’d killed Panetta. “Doesn’t work that way. I get a name. They get a numbered bank account in an offshore bank. The money clears and somebody dies. Guy who contacts me is just a middleman. Who the hell knows? Maybe he has a middleman.” I heard a car drive up the street. A neighbor’s dog barked. A moment later I saw why. A woman walked by the front of my house with another dog on a leash. The mutt stopped and urinated on the tree by my curb. Anyone on the sidewalk could look in the bay window near where we were sitting. But all they would see was two men having a friendly conversation. And, in fact, I didn’t want any interruptions. I was caught up in the story Vernon Maples had just told me. “The cops have hairs and D.N.A. from a black man,” I said. “I planted that. A little misdirection.” “What happens if they nab the wrong guy?’ Maples smiled.
