One For My Baby (Phoenix Noir Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
He got up, started coffee brewing, fed Pangur Ban, then took a shower. He toweled himself dry, put on jeans and a shirt and sat in a chair and drank a cup of coffee as he looked at the Arizona Republic’s website to see if they’d posted any news of the robbery yet. There was a very short piece just saying that the restaurant was the latest victim in a series of such robberies, and that no one had been arrested. He put on sandals and a big Amish straw hat and walked a couple blocks to a bar/restaurant called The Duck and Swallow. He had just sat at a table when the joint’s owner, English Tony, came over. “Mark! It’s been a while, mate. Thought you’d abandoned us.” “No chance of that. Just been busy.” “Been playing some gigs?” “Yeah, a few.” “I’d like to have you play here some night.” “Sure. Just let me know when.” “It won’t be for a while. I couldn’t afford live music right now. Things have been slow—because of my accent, people are scared I might be serving British beef, and they think they’ll get Mad Cow Disease.”
