Black As Night (Quentin Black Mystery #2)
“FOX?” A voice called out to me, barely audible over the traffic.
I turned, flustered, my two jackets already shed and balanced over two different arms. It was hot. I should have tried to fit the jackets inside one of the bags.
Managing those, my purse, a long silver case which Kiko gave me a photograph of and told me to pick up in baggage claim in Bangkok, my phone and a different, white, carry-on suitcase––a roller bag I’d also never seen before today––had me more than a little overwhelmed.
T...hat probably would have been true even without jet-lag and the eighty-five-degree heat with eighty percent humidity at six in the morning. The crowds of equally jet-lagged people trudging through customs and security with me and out towards the long line of taxis that waited outside the terminal didn’t help. We all bumped into one another and sweated on one another even as we stared around with equally bleary and unfocused eyes.
Since it was so early in the morning, there was a quietness in the air, too, however.MoreLess
