“His face was all strong features: piercing eyes, formidable nose, wide mouth, square jaw. A lined forehead and a crown of curly white hair. David Loogan had seen the face before: in photos on the jackets of mystery novels. And he had met the man once, at a party at the Kristoll house on the Huron River. At a few minutes past eight on Tuesday night, Loogan knocked on the door of the Kristoll house. The door swung inward and there was Nathan Hideaway, extending a great mitt of a hand in greeting.... He was dressed in a suit that might have been black or might have been a very deep blue. His face betrayed no sign of recognition. He said, “Mr. Loogan, I presume.” He led Loogan back through the house and into the study. Laura Kristoll came forward as if she might embrace Loogan, but in the end she only trailed her palm down his arm. She said, “Thank you for coming, David.” There was another woman with her—a woman Loogan had met before, at the same party where he had met Nathan Hideaway.MoreLessRead More Read Less
