The Great Circus Train Robbery (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Its long skinny tail was wrapped twice around its feet. It had pulled off its scarlet ruff; it looked sad, like it missed Hackberry. Or had missed its meal. “Here, Sweet Gum.” He tossed a peanut and the monkey swallowed it. “Good shot,” a voice said, and he jumped. In a far corner of the room a caged green-and-red parrot glared at him. Now he had to feed a parrot if Hackberry didn’t come back. He poured the peanuts into a bowl and left them for the monkey. He found a tin of birdseed on a shelf and threw a handful into the cage. “Fool!” the parrot cried, “Out of my cage. Out I said!” At least the monkey seemed glad to see him. It leapt from the file cabinet and onto his shoulder. When he tried to release its toes, it only gripped harder. He might as well check out the old trunk, he thought, while he was waiting for the monkey to unwind. But when he pulled back the bedroom curtain, he found the trunk lid open, the contents spread on bed and floor. Someone had been here, he didn’t think Hackberry would leave such a mess.
