Overview
I give the dead their twenty seconds on the four o'clock news. Eleven years of it. I know what a suicide looks like, and Calvin Doyle's didn't look like one. The bottle was capped. The shoes were squared. The note was typed, by a man who wrote everything else by hand.
So I pulled the thread. It ran to the Aldridges, old Savannah, white tablecloths, a wine list with no prices. And it ran to Susan, who reorganized my kitchen without asking and never once asked about the scar. Then the doors started closing. Sources, records, my own editor, one at a time, so gently I blamed the draft. Nobody threatened me. Somebody was making a list of everything I love, and Susan was at the top of it, and the door to her apartment was the only one in the city still open. I walked through it. Of course I did. By the end of the summer I had signed my name under a lie that wasn't mine and been offered a chair at the table that runs this town. The worst part isn't that I took it. The worst part is how well it fits. COMPLICIT is the first book of A Savannah Noir. Book One is how she gets in.This item is Non-Returnable
