Book Excerpt
“In a
century, you’ll be dead, and nobody will remember your existence.”
Those were
the final words that my ex-employer had told me before she went away.
Please
permit me to tell you about this woman I used to work for. She was a
fascinating dame, a tough lady that you come across only once in a lifetime, or
maybe every second century. It wasn’t anything romantic nor was there any
physical attraction between her and I, but I did have an immense amount of
admiration for my previous employer because of her superb qualities, sublime
detecting ability and a knack for solving problems in two steps while the
average cop would take 30 steps, plus a dozen doughnuts and bourbon.
Her
name was Veronica Rogers, a private detective who was immersed in her business
and worked on any type of case imaginable: stolen diamonds, insurance fraud,
love affairs and any other trivial matters that we get ourselves involved in
for whatever reason, possibly because we are too afraid to confront our own
death that we have to seek out meaningless issues to distract us. But I
digress, a trait that certainly frustrated Ms. Rogers at times.
I
was her business associate, a jack-of-all-trades employee if you will - I
assure you once again the entire partnership was simply platonic and
professional; I was a conservative Briton from a middle-class family, while she
was a Brooklyn native who was born in the slums and still had that stench that she
tried to suppress. You can never wash away that odor, which one would never
smell, but it would always follow her around her entire life. It’s like being
an ex-convict, you’ll always be enshrined with those invisible stripes.
