The Death Gods (A Shell Scott Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
And in that strange quietness I was seeing again, vividly, the appealing brown face of Jock-Jock, thick lips parted and curving into what looked like a smile. In an odd jerky fraction of a second before the Gourmet Room, Dane, all the rest came back from wherever they’d gone, I saw the brown head starting to snap forward, the lips spreading, and somewhere within my mind I actually heard the ugly sodden sound of that mechanized hammer striking the back of Jock-Jock’s skull. “Are you all right? Shell? What’s the matter?” I licked my lips, surprised that they were so suddenly dry. “Nothing. I just thought of something.” What I’d been reaching for didn’t make any sense at all, those remembered sights and imagined sounds couldn’t have any connection to something that had happened seventeen years ago. “Well, where were we?” I went on. “Yeah, I wanted to mention, when I was picturing those moments just before Sherwood shot himself, it lined up like—sound of gunshot, Wintersong and nurse Fallon are the first persons to reach the office, Wintersong sends the nurse for help and then keeps everybody else out until the cops take over, right?”
