The Straight-Forward Mystery of the Ancient Shock
Intro author Sleuth Admin
It was smoky, dark and noisy that night in the Tricky Mister.
I was seated at the end of the bar, enjoying a laugh with some of the
regulars. A large group of sailors, fresh in from a tour in the
Philippines, joked and shouted amongst themselves. They seemed
unaware of the local pickpockets and hucksters who were gathering
in the shadows, awaiting their chance to swoop in and part them from
their money.
It seemed like half of the town was in that evening,
with one notable exception. I was happy to see that the shady
fellow who usually held court in the back of Tricky Mister was
nowhere in sight. The mood in the place was noticeably lighter,
thanks to his absence.
Despite the crowd, I noticed when the bartender gestured towards me,
apparently in answer to a question. I had to lean back in my
bar stool, in order to see who he was talking to.
My hope was to give myself enough time to make an exit,
if it turned out to be somebody who wanted to find me,more
than I wanted to be found by them.
Too late, she saw me looking, and came straight for me. There
was no escaping, so I finished my drink and stood up to greet her.
Irma Bales, a slim woman with straight hair and a case that will haunt
me until my dying day.
She was the Best Friend of the victim, Loretta Sheriff,murdered
in cold blood.
The cops were no help, of course. So she came to me.
She gave me the names of some people of interest.
Then, she made it very clear which way her suspicions pointed.
Topping her list was
Richela Tomlin, Loretta's Bookie.
Richela utterly despised the victim.
