Half the city’s detectives are on my payroll, but they don’tusually show up to my office unless there’s a good reason. Iexpected to hear from Andrews after Arslan set fire to one ofthe Greek holdings last week. But considering the timing of their arrival, my guess is thisvisit has something to do with the two men I shot in front ofmy house two nights ago. Andrews tilts his head to his younger colleague, and DetectiveHoward shifts forward. “Have you spoken to Giorgos Simatourecently?” “We spoke on the phone a few days ago.” “And that’s the last time you talked to him?” I frown and start to reach for my office phone. “What is thisabout? Should I call Giorgos and have him confirm when wespoke?” “That would be pretty difficult,” Howard says. Andrew
