Inspector West Takes Charge (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
He was staring at Maisie, who had thrown open an opulent grey mink coat, and was shaking one fist at him from a distance of about five feet. A small hat with a veil which dangled to her nose was too far forward on her head, and her thick legs were set apart. Harrington said contemptuously: ‘You’re drunk.’ ‘Drunk, am I?’ squealed Maisie. She took a step forward. Roger studied her flushed face, her parted lips, and did not imagine the whisky fumes. Her clenched hand was trembling, but she remained at a safe distance from Harrington. Her poise suggested that she was prepared to jump out of danger. ‘You insulting tyke, get out of my house! Insult a lady, would you, call me drunk? What have you done to my husband? Where is he? That’s what I want to know - where’s my husband? Drunk?’ She screeched the word at the top of her voice. ‘I’ll give you drunk, you fake. You murdering double-crossing fake.’ Roger stood by the open door, with Janet peering over his shoulder on tip-toe, and Petrie only a foot behind her.
