Jimmy Fox - Nick Herald 01 - Deadly Pedigree - Plot & Excerpts
13 Nick ate breakfast in an airy sun-filled, antique-crammed room downstairs, in the company of ficuses, palms, and about thirty Japanese tourists videotaping each other eating such unfamiliar Louisiana fare as grits and grillades, eggs Benedict, and beignets. Sharla, fortunately, was absent. I shouldn’t have, but I did anyway…words for his tombstone. One of these days, he would have to pay for his libidinous lapses; the avenger waiting for him might be some dread disease or a jealous husband. He also worried that maybe he’d shared too much with Sharla the night before, in the way of words, that is; he foggily remembered opening a second bottle of chardonnay, which Sharla just happened to have put in the room’s mini fridge. A couple of homemade bagels with gravlax and cream cheese, some fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, and two pots of steaming coffee and chicory were getting the better of his hangover and his typically gargantuan appetite. He had a lot of work to do.
