THE LADY KILLER: Intense, Suspenseful, Gripping Literary Fiction - Plot & Excerpts
Though they still went out and about around town and she sometimes stayed over at his aesthetic Victorian condo above Tiburon cove, always on the couch, and he never at her place, though he sometimes visited it, she ended up playing nursemaid to the older man. And though she hadn’t minded this and it drew her nearer to him, she certainly hadn’t bargained for it. We, of course, hadn’t known the older gentleman as well as we thought we had. That he was an ex newspaper writer and a disgruntled war veteran (he’d retired from the war with grave doubts about its ethical principles) were facts. That the coughing spells we’d witnessed when in the middle of a conversation at a bar or table when he’d gag, choke and suddenly excuse himself for the men’s room were attributed to cancer of the esophagus we had no idea. Moreover, of the scenes he’d put Gloria through before his bay window, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry over some of them. In the end result she never took him seriously enough to believe him and that, of course, is what made his last act so shocking.
