Sample text:

"I spoke with Sharon Turner. After I got this letter from her.” Erin slapped a piece of note paper on the counter in front of me. “With that necklace she says you gave her for her birthday. And that Visa card.” She grabbed the photographs and slammed them on the counter over the letter. “How many times did you and she go out while I was at that convention?”

“Whoa,” I said, holding both hands up. “First of all, I never went out with her or any other woman for that matter. Second—” I looked at the first photograph. Me and a redhead at a bar. “—I don’t recognize her. Is this supposed to be Sharon Turner?”

“You tell me. You investigated her robbery.”

Her face still rang no bells. “I don’t think this is the same Turner woman.” I looked at the next one. Me kissing her. “This is bullshit. I never kissed her.” The third one in the bedroom. “Who sent these?”

“Read that damn letter.” Erin folded her arms over her chest and walked toward the back door.

I took all of two minutes to read that trash. “I never cheated on you. I never saw this woman. And I have no idea what she’s referring to about any necklace.”

Erin pulled a necklace from her robe pocket and tossed it on the counter. “Now do you?”

I picked it up. Silvery. Light. A cliched engraving. It reminded me of one a teenager would buy for his steady girlfriend. “I don’t know where that came from. I sure as hell didn’t buy it. I didn’t buy a goddamn thing for her. I don’t know her.”
