About the Author
Sunday, October 2
“We got ourselves some intel that you oughta know about.”
The man sat in Lincoln Rhyme’s New York City Victorian parlor, his legs stretched out, revealing bright yellow socks. His couture was as eclectic as Rhyme remembered: today, a green suit and a plaid shirt. He wore a skinny necktie, and the background of the garment was a deep brown that matched his complexion perfectly. The foreground of the tie was dotted with tiny, embroidered toucans, green and red.
Fred Dellray was not your typical FBI agent.
