Under Cover of Daylight (2011)
“Kate parked her VW convertible on the grass out near the highway. Top down. Thorn asked her if she wanted to leave it like that. She looked up at the clear summer sky, said, yes, she’d just had the top repaired from the last public meeting. This way, if someone slashed anything, it would be just the seats.
Thorn walked between them, feeling spiffy in long pants for a change, an ironed shirt. Nodding at folks he knew, catching some of them with distressed looks as they saw Kate.
She had her silv...er hair back in a bun. Wore a white cotton dress and carried a yellow legal pad. Her bifocals were pushed up onto her forehead. And on his other side, Sarah. Tonight dressed like a lawyer. White long-sleeved blouse, sleeves rolled up, black straight skirt, black pumps. A no-nonsense expression. Her hair barely under control with three barrettes.
They entered the auditorium. A stage at one end, with a basketball goal cocked up above it. The big room also served as the cafeteria, and Thorn smelled the scent of fried food.MoreLess
