“Roxanne? No. She was with Linda.” Hickey shrugged.‘Big swinging mickey.’ Larney braced in anticipation of a blow.‘He looked like you.’ “What strangers?” Unluckily, a young backpacker, a foreigner in a red down jacket, witnesses my mockery, and his southern face screws up from his forehead to his chin and out to his ears. I smile to show him that I can do that as well. There was a pause. The detective said something in connection with the statement to the effect that it would still have to be corroborated by evidence that Montemayor had actually murdered Mortimer.

I wouldn’t have come otherwise.” He must have learned about EMERGENCY SITUATIONS in his Scouting handbook. If a loud scream is heard in the field, not least in the wilderness of Iceland, you must cast off your pack, grab your Swiss Army knife from your pocket, and run as fast as possible toward the noise. If a confused assistant nurse has wailed on a deck for no apparent reason, you should do nothing, but if her problem daughter is beating her up, you must jump into the fray, though not with your knife, unless it’s a matter of life and death. “Why’d you drop out?” my new potential best friend asked. “Sarah Ramsey.
