The Beasts Of Upton Puddle (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Heinrich rasped. “Come for the diamonds, have you?” “I . . . No!” Joe tried to move, but the old man’s fingers tightened like pliers. “Mrs. Merrynether sent me down for the next shopping list.” With a slight wobble, Heinrich raised himself from his chair, still holding Joe firmly by the arm. “And you thought you would help yourself to some valuables while you were at it, hmm?” “I didn’t even know you had any diamonds until a minute ago,” Joe protested, still struggling. “And who’s Jimmy anyway? I saw your letter.” Heinrich’s fingers loosened, and his eyes flickered as if he’d been slapped across the cheek. Taking full advantage of Heinrich’s momentary shock, Joe wrenched his arm as hard as he could and managed to free himself. Heinrich made no further attempt to grab Joe but swayed slightly, as though groggy from a day’s worth of sleeping. He shook his head, gave Joe a studious look as if mulling over a difficult clue for a crossword puzzle, then turned back to his desk to snatch the letter away.
