Now Reading ...

Scott continued down the hall to the men's room. He was standing at a urinal and thinking about Rebecca's latest lie when he zipped up and turned around and came face to face with Gabe's goon. And he realized that Louis hadn't followed him out of the courtroom.
"I guess I didn't make myself clear on the beach." The goon grabbed Scott by his shirt. "The Vegas boys don't want Gabe to testify."
A toilet flushed.
A stall door swung open, and Louis's massive body filled the opening. He stepped out and loomed large over Gabe's goon -- and blocked his path to the door. The goon released Scott's shirt.
"Sorry, Mr. Fenney. Nature called. Would you excuse us?"
Scott smiled at the goon and slipped past Louis and out the door. He walked back down the corridor to the courtroom. Gabe saw him and looked for his goon. But it was Louis walking down the corridor. Scott waited for him; they entered the courtroom together.
"Louis, I didn't see the goon leave."
"He left, Mr. Fenney. Through the window."
"But we're on the second floor."
"Yes, sir, we sure are."

So, as I mentioned above, I just finished reading this one today. Enjoyed it immensely. This is the third of Mr. Gimenez's books that I have read, and I loved each and every one. This one is a sequel to The Color of Law, which I posted about a few weeks ago.
