Samson's Deal: A Laid-Back Bay Area Mystery (The Jake Samson & Rosie Vicente Detective Series) - Plot & Excerpts
She looked like the loser in a badly matched heavyweight bout, with a bandage over one eyebrow, a black eye, a purple cheekbone, a grazed and swollen jaw, a cut lip, and a red nose. I figured the nose was red from crying, because it didn’t look damaged. She had a little trouble walking and held her left arm up against her rib cage. I was remembering three things. Debbi had been involved in CORPS, the person that Frank said he’d taken care of was a “she,” and Frank was partial to jaws and ribs. “So,” I said, “you’re the one Frank beat up.” She didn’t look surprised that I’d guessed what had happened to her. Her eyes were blank with the special blankness of exhausted fear. She didn’t answer me and she didn’t say anything about my own injuries. I followed her in and sat down. “How come you told the cops about Eddie Cutter?” I asked gently. She looked at me, one eye bright with tears, the other half closed, “I didn’t.”
