Sweets Galore: The Sixth Samantha Sweet Mystery (The Samantha Sweet Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
They advised her of her rights, photographed and fingerprinted her. She kept her lips pressed together through the whole ordeal and was shown to a cell where a tired-looking woman in a see-through blouse and tight skirt that barely covered her buns sat on the thin mattress on a stainless steel bunk. An unflushed toilet sat in the corner. Sam felt her lungs tighten against drawing in the odor. The woman raised her head, took in Sam’s freshly washed hair and clothing with hard eyes. “What’d you do?” she asked. “Nothing!” “Yeah. Me too.” She resumed staring at the floor. An hour later a female officer showed up and ushered Sam down the corridor to a room where a man in a windbreaker waited at a table. “Sam, hi. I’m Mark Nelson. Beau Cardwell called me.” She recognized his lean face from an ad on the cover of the phone book, one of those “If you’re in trouble with the law . . .” ads she’d always found pretty sleazy. Now she was glad to see him. In jeans and a polo shirt, with the casual jacket, he looked like he’d been pulled away from a Sunday ball game with his kid.
