Book Cover & Preview Text
George cleared his throat; this woman did seem to understand the problem he was facing. He knew that the director and those American agents were looking at him sideways; placing the blame squarely on his round shoulders. Yet the only door available to the assailant was locked when he did his run through and when Harry went to deliver the cables for the computers in Mr. Meitson’s office. He had run it through his head a thousand times since the shot rang out but nothing made sense then or now. “Miss,” he corrected himself, “Shelly I have gone over this with the American Secret Service and it makes no sense. The door the assailant used was locked this morning and a few moments after he escaped through the door it was still locked. There was no reason for anyone to open it or even go near that door.” “How can someone use a locked door?” “That is the question of the century miss.” He looked around the room and lowered his voice, “Not one of us can answer it and the Americans think we, meaning me is some how involved in all of this. I would lay money that someone followed us here and are listening in on this conversation trying to determine who you are and if you are involved too.”
