The Sham (A Chloe Boston Mystery Book 14) - Plot & Excerpts
None of them were smiling. All of them appeared to be agitated.“Chloe, where have you been?” my father demanded as I stepped out of the car.“At the mayor’s insistence, we stopped off for a drink or two,” I explained.My father opened the passenger side door and Mayor Gilhoolie’s body fell out onto the sidewalk.“What have you done to him? I hope he’s not dead,” my father said. “We have to be at my office downtown to offer him the key to the city in less than an hour.”“Oh yeah, I forgot about that,” I admitted, sheepishly. “Let’s take him into the lobby and get him some coffee.”“Yes, let’s do that.”With my father under one arm and me under the other, we managed to drag Mayor Gilhoolie into the lobby of the Morningside Inn. Along the way the mayor woke and began shuffling his feet which made things marginally easier. In the lobby, one of my father’s assistants was already waiting with a hot cup of Morningside’s Double-shot Java. We set the mayor down in a comfortable wingback chair and held the steaming cup under his nose.
