He picked up a copy of the Chronicle at the register, shook his head at the headlines before making his way to the steps up to his flat, but he...
+I pull into a parking space away from the door, get out and lock my Ford Fusion, and walk into Jerry's Bar. It has been a long, hot day, it was Wednesday, and I'm in the mood for a cold one, or two or three, and a sliced beef sandwich and some seasoned fries.

Chapter 7 Meeting Paige's family When Paige called at nine PM, I'd made my calls, and had given up on hearing from her. I reported that the quotations for the water hookup were arriving; I'd spoken to Harold Whitney about the consulting job, and Charlie and I had moved the crates out of the living room. "Brian?" "Yes, Paige." "I didn't follow any of wha...

The whole matter began shortly after Andee's 38th birthday. She had made one of the biggest decisions of her life and cropped her long brown hair into a cute "pixie" cut.
