Hard Case Crime: Shooting Star & Spiderweb - Plot & Excerpts
I took a chance going into the barber for a shave, took another when I stopped off for breakfast. But all this was only a rehearsal. A rehearsal for the big chance, when I called Bannock’s office. The girl put me through. “Mark. Where are you?” “That’s what a lot of people would like to know. Have you heard?” “Damned right I’ve heard. What’d you do?” “Don’t want to talk about it over the phone. Where can I see you?” “Better not come out here.” “I didn’t intend to. But I want to go over some things fast. I’d counted on getting together with you at Trent’s funeral this afternoon. Now it looks as if I’m not going.” Bannock was silent. “Hello?” I said, jiggling the receiver. “I’m still here. Just thinking. Look, I’m leaving around noon to pick up Daisy. We planned to eat and then go to the funeral. Suppose I tell her to eat at home and I’ll come by for her later. That okay?” “Fine.” “Where’ll I find you?” I hesitated. “You know Perucci’s?”
