Rogue Angel 49: The Devil's Chord - Plot & Excerpts
An ambulance boat had arrived and whisked Scout away. Two hours later, Scout’s stomach had been pumped and the nurse had reassured Annja it had not been food poisoning, but perhaps instead the tea. Stale tea? Or perhaps tea that one suspected was dandelion root but instead was something far worse? The weed could be potentially toxic, the nurse had suggested. Annja was thankful she hadn’t drank any. And to look at Scout now, whose skin was white and lips were a chalky shade as well, she was doubly thankful. Annja had called Tomaso Damiani at the police station when she and Scout had arrived at the hospital and told him about their find in the canal and that Scout was ill. The police officer said he’d be there soon to talk to her further about the situation. While Scout weakly answered the nurse’s questions so she could fill out a file on him, Annja waited by the door, wondering if she’d had the forethought to lock the palazzo doors as they’d left.
