Rock Bottom (Imogene Museum Mystery #1) - Plot & Excerpts
The man who’d been the rear guard in the tussle — who also seemed to be in charge — leapt into a boat and fired up the outboard motor. He motioned to the second man and together they tried to shove the inert tall man into the boat. I was close enough to hear the splash just as the boat drifted away from the dock, and the body missed the bow. The men stopped, stunned, and stared at the inky water lapping against the bumpers. My pounding tread reverberated in my ears and must have in theirs too, because their heads jerked toward me. Then the second man jumped into the boat and they roared away into the black night — no lights, just rapidly fading engine noise. I skidded to a stop and dropped at the edge of the dock where the tall man had gone in the water, yelping when my right knee hit the rough planks. Nothing. My flashlight was back in the museum, and the truck’s headlights shone straight off the edge of the dock, leaving everything black below. I plunged my arm into the icy water, reaching for hair, clothing — anything.
