Concourse (Bill Smith/lydia Chin)
“I checked out the lights as they came and went in my mirror, detoured out of my way once or twice to see what would happen, but nothing happened. The guy had stayed lost, it seemed. Well, fine. For now, fine.
Norwood was an old neighborhood of dark-brick apartment buildings, solid and substantial. Mature trees grew on the verges of wide sidewalks, corner stores sold newspapers and milk, and the lit rectangles of apartment-house windows glowed softly.
I found Henry Howe’s street and I found his ...building. I parked around the block, strolled back and watched the lobby from a distance until I caught the rhythm of comings and goings. There was no doorman, but this was the hour people came home from work, did the shopping, walked the dog. It was a large building; the lobby wasn’t empty for any long enough stretch to make me confident I could get in unnoticed.
I was considering two fallbacks—coming back later, or finding a service entrance with a lock I could pick in private—when a bicycle with a big aluminum carrier on the front bounced onto the sidewalk.MoreLess
