Redemption (A Joe Burgess Mystery, Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
The house was in a nice part of town and it was a nice house. A new house on a big lot with expensive landscaping and a sparkling white fence and healthy shrubs for privacy. There was a Lincoln SUV in the driveway. When he rang the bell, a real dog barked, and when a woman answered, the dog was right behind her. Her "yes" was reserved and suspicious. People who lived in houses like this didn't get many Jehovah's Witnesses or hopeful peddlers on their doorsteps. They were wary of those who might be after their money or threatening their security and didn't like the sanctity of the home disturbed by uninvited visitors. Burgess was aware that his morning in the wet parking lot and getting up close and personal with Joey's garbage probably hadn't done much for his appearance, but at the best of times, he lacked sartorial splendor. He showed his badge. "Detective Sergeant Joe Burgess, Portland police, ma'am, and this is Detective Kyle." Surprise and concern flickered in her eyes. Otherwise, her face remained reserved and noncommittal.
