Murder On Amsterdam Avenue (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
He’d learned not to comment when a man began to cry. Offering sympathy just humiliated him, and telling him to be a man made him angry. After a few short minutes, Oakes pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, mopped his face, and blew his nose. When he’d composed himself, Frank said, “Do you think Adderly had something to do with Charles’s death?” Oakes’s eyes were terrible, full of pain and guilt and horror. “If I find out that he did, I’ll kill him with my bare hands.” “But you’re upset because you suspect him.” Oakes stuffed the handkerchief back in his pocket. “I want to suspect him. There’s a difference.” “Do you know of any reason he’d want to kill Charles?” “No, of course not. Charles wasn’t . . . Well, he wasn’t the kind of man someone would murder. But I can’t think of anyone else I know who would even think of committing a crime of this nature.”
