My confession...

Oh, dear, where to start?
I love writing for you! I've lost track of how many thousands of you have downloaded Castle Cay, my free gift. And every year since they've been published, you've supported me by downloading the three Julie O'Hara Mysteries that follow. It's a blessing, and I am most grateful for it. But...

Quotes by Lee Hanson (?)

“The little restaurant was renowned for its soups and sandwiches and was filled to capacity with lunchtime regulars, who were as dependable as kids around an ice-cream truck.”

“He thought they looked like they lived year-round in Miami. “I hope you don’t mind that I brought another agent along, Pete. Bob has an interest in Avram Solomon, apart from Marcus Solomon’s death,” said Sherm. “No,” said Pete. “We made our decision to help…whatever you need to do.” Joan returned with four glasses of water on a tray, set the tray on the coffee table and sat next to Pete on the sofa.”

“time to see the Camry turn right at the red light, passing the old, darkened gas station again. He pulled up to the lights and watched the blue car slowly continue on. When the light turned green, he crossed the intersection and headed for his townhouse. He kept his eyes on his rear view mirror, but no one followed him. They’re feds. It’s me they’re watching. Time for Plan B... * * * * * Chapter 56 Avram was organized. All the important records were at his townhouse in one place: the den. He sat in his desk chair and fed them into the cross-cut shredder, a few at a time. He’d planned carefully for this, for years. The Feds would try to charge him, in absentia, with money laundering. Well, he wasn’t going to make it easy for them. Fortunately, Silvio Tambini had more places to wash his money”
