Hard Rock (A Hardboiled Private Investigator Mystery Series): John Rockne Mysteries 2 - Plot & Excerpts
But she had come back to an estate in Grosse Pointe Farms. I knew this because she had settled on Kenwood Road, home of the famous Nun’s Walk of Grosse Pointe. Two evenly spaced rows of towering, hundred-year-old Silver Maple trees lined the street. The story went that the nuns from the Sacred Heart Academy used to stroll between the trees on their way to and from church. I’d always wanted to walk down the lane myself, but never had. It didn’t help that it was all private property now. I knew which house was Elizabeth’s because Ellen had pointed it out to me. “Looks like your old squeeze is doing fine,” she had said, pointing at the sprawling home as we drove past it. I had probably been taking Ellen to confession. Lord knew she needed it. Now, I pulled into the driveway and looked at the house. It was your classic Grosse Pointe Tudor, a combination of brick, plaster, leaded glass windows and a towering chimney set on a sprawling lot with the famous Silver Maples out front. A bluestone walk led from the sidewalk to the house, and a second structure, a garage with a living area above it, sat near the rear of the property. Both the main house and the garage featured slate roofs.
