Hiding Place (9781101606759) (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
She thought she knew what he was there for. He had heard about the man from the porch. Someone had called to report him—maybe even Madeline, maybe someone else at work—and Stynes was at the house to ask Janet what she knew about the man. And if he came in asking questions about the man, her dad would hear. Everyone would know the secret she’d been carrying with her. Janet gathered her wits and decided to keep Detective Stynes out on the porch and handle the situation out of her dad’s earshot, but Stynes changed things by saying, “I wanted to talk to your dad for a few minutes.” “My dad?” “Is he home?” Stynes asked. “I’m sorry I didn’t call.” “He’s here,” Janet said, but she didn’t turn or make any effort to call for him. She hoped that by standing in the doorway long enough Stynes would feel compelled to explain the purpose of his visit. But apparently the detective possessed better waiting skills than Janet. He wore a patient look on his face, his eyes calm, his expression mild.
