  64. AUTHOR’ S NOTE

“To complicated cases,” Tommy said. “They’re the most fun.”

They drank.

“I have news from the state cops,” Tommy said. “This afternoon the cops in Hobe Sound found a woman in a stolen car behind an abandoned service station, one bullet in the head. No I.D., but she fits the description of Gigi Jones Keating.”

“That’s interesting news,” Dino said.

“There’s more: She had an apartment in South Beach, and they searched it. Found a stash of mixed drugs, too much for personal use. They figure that she was in business with Charley Boggs in some way, and that’s how the big stash got left on Evan’s boat.”

“She was a piece of work,” Dino said.

“Sounds like her hit man didn’t trust her,” Stone said. “Any word on him?”

“The state cops tell me Manny lawyered up right away. My guess is he’ll make a deal before he goes to trial, and then we’ll fi nd out who the guy is.”

Dino shook his head. “Not Manny,” he said. “He knows that at his age he’ll die in prison, deal or no deal. He won’t rat the guy out.”

“By the way,” Tommy said, “the state guys said the only reason they caught Manny was he forgot to take off his belt at airport security, and the buckle set off the metal detector. Except for that, he’d be in Mexico now.”

Everybody had a good laugh.

“Are you guys really leaving tomorrow morning?” Tommy asked.

“At long last,” Dino replied, “though I hate to go.”

“We’ve loitered long enough,” Stone said.

AUTHOR’ S NOTE

I am happy to hear from readers, but you should know that if you write to me in care of my publisher, three to six months will pass before I receive your letter, and when it finally arrives it will be one among many, and I will not be able to reply. However, if you have access to the Internet, you may visit my website at www.stuartwoods.com, where there is a button for sending me e-mail. So far, I have been able to reply to all my e-mail, and I will continue to try to do so.

If you send me an e-mail and do not receive a reply, it is probably because you are among an alarming number of people who have entered their e-mail address incorrectly in their mail software. I have many of my replies returned as undeliverable. Remember: e-mail, reply; snail mail, no reply. When you e-mail, please do not send attachments, as I never open these. They can take twenty minutes to download, and they often contain viruses.
