“It is an Adele Becket thing, Mr. Slane. Oh, and I have something…” She opened her reticule, removed the book and held it out to him. “Your copy of Gulliver’s Travels. I finished it after all.”
He looked pleased as he took it back. Then his smile faded. “Will you…can you let me know somehow, if you find the other one?”
“If I can manage it, I will find a way to let you know, yes. I owe you that much, at least.”
“And let me know if you…deal with him, too,” he said in a rush. “I long to get my hands on the bastard. If you do it, then I think it might feel almost the same.”
“How blood-thirsty, Mr. Slane,” she chided him.
He smiled ruefully. “‘tis the Irish in me. We are a blood-thirsty lot, just under the civilized veneer. I find myself offended that Germans are running around freely, killing Irishman who don’t deserve ignoble deaths.”
Adele hesitated and turned to him. “Is that truly how you feel, Slane?”
“Hell, yes,” he breathed. “‘scuse me, but yes.”
She waved the curse aside. “If you really want to do something about them, it so happens I know a man in need of good men just like you…”
And hot, hard hope flared in his eyes.

Did you enjoy this book?
How to make a big difference!
Reviews are powerful.
Authors like me, without the financial muscle of a sleek New York publisher backing me, can’t take advertisements out in the subways and billboards of the world.
On the other hand, New York publishers would kill to get what I have: A committed and loyal group of readers.
Honest reviews of my books help bring them to the attention of other readers. If you enjoyed this book I would be grateful if you could spend just a few minutes leaving a review (it can be as short as you like) on the book’s page where you bought it.
