Out Of The Blue: A Pengram Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
Twenty-eight. Caucasian. An address in Darby, 114B Brae Street. He had been employed at Checker for only three months the year before, working as a stocker from September through late November. After that, he simply stopped showing up for his shifts. Described as quiet, he caused no problems while at work and most of the staff didn’t even remember him. Then again, the turnover at Checker was quite high, so over a third of the current employees had not been his contemporaries in their time at the box store. Even the manager was new as of the spring. The last one had been fired for theft and general incompetence. Thank God for Bonnie in Electronics, who had excellent recall with names and faces, and said she had almost ten years of pointless store gossip filling her gray matter. I did not doubt her claim. None of that gossip involved Macdonald, however, and she had never engaged him in a conversation beyond hello. That was because she worked on the main floor with the customers while he worked primarily in the back.
