Ken Kuhlken_Hickey Family Mystery 03 - Plot & Excerpts
He analyzed the caroms. So far, it was the best distraction he’d found. But he snapped to attention at the sound of tires on gravel. He bolted to the archway, peered into the living room; Harry sank his third straight combo. The doorbell clanged. Frieda sauntered out of the far wing, stuck her eye to the peephole.

I’ve been calling all the lodges and hotels, describing Wendy and the car. I can’t say it’s them, but there’s a man and a young woman, pregnant, kind of small, checked into the lodge at Carnelian Bay yesterday morning. They’re still registered. The fellow I talked to hadn’t seen them outside.” “When’d you talk to this guy?” Hickey rasped.
