Truth Lies Waiting (Davy Johnson Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
I’m careful as I get out of Ken’s cab to turn my face away so Tam doesn’t see me if he looks out through the café window. I wanted to go see him but Ken talked me out of it; the more people I speak to, he reminded me, the higher my chances of being picked up by the cops. He’s right, I know that, but I hate the thought of someone thinking I’m not only a scumbag, but a murdering one at that. It irks even more when I see that the girl who had the job before me has been reinstated; I can see her slouching about wearing my apron, moving between the tables half-heartedly serving the diners. I don’t blame Tam, better the devil you know after all. Inside, the betting shop is every bit as grim as I remember. Hard up men in no hurry to leave, as though returning home will catapult them back to the lives they were trying so hard to get away from. I used to come in this place with Dad. He’d ask Mum for a fiver, say he was taking me for an ice-cream then make me sit under the counter out of the owner’s sight while he prayed for one of the horses he’d bet on to come in.
