Chapter 157

Could he have slipped away while I was asleep

In that case, could he beinvolved in this recent spate of murders

Hi, did you happen to see my husband leave the hotel?I asked

The young clerk shook her head, I’m sorry, it’s been so busy…”

More than one got bitten. It seems like those guys were staking out near the Langley estate, probably surveilling or planning something against you,” Robin continued with a sigh. They got away, so let’s call it selfdefense for now. But Dexter and his driver were waiting at the Langley’s gate for you. They got caught in the crossfire.” 

I went silent
