Square In The Face (Claire Montrose Series) - Plot & Excerpts
They decided to concentrate first on the two houses that lay within Portland’s city limits, one in the Burlingame area in southwest Portland, and the other in the Irvington neighborhood across the Willamette river in the northeast. Teresa Marquette, presumably a single mother, lived within three miles of Charlie and Claire, in a mini-subdivision of long, low ranch houses that had been put up after World War II. In J.B.’s borrowed Firebird, Claire and Charlie drove slowly down the street, until they found a turquoise house with a number that matched the one on Claire’s stolen photocopy. There was no car in the driveway and the curtains were drawn. “Look at that lawn,” Claire remarked. It was unmarred by weeds or even a stray leaf. The flat green was as unvarying and perfect as a golf-course. Charlie shook her head. “It does not look like a house for children.” She was right. The house looked more like it belonged to an old man who would confiscate any ball that accidentally ended up on his property.
