Mortal Crimes: 7 Novels Of Suspense - Plot & Excerpts
His breath smelled of alcohol, but he didn’t slur his words or otherwise seem drunk.William liked his drink, but Charles couldn’t remember ever seeing him drink hard this early in the morning. Maybe he’d been up all night.“It’s all gone wrong,” William said. “I don’t know why they’d pull out now. We were so close, and they have as much to lose as we do.”“Are the Chinese leaving?” Charles asked. He didn’t know what this was about, only that his brother, the Minister of Mines and Energy, had shown up at his office mid-morning, insisting on talking to him.“No, they’re not leaving. Not willingly. Ah, this has all gone wrong. And I’m committed now. Everything is ready.
