the horns of a dilemma indeedy. smart. very smart.
Pacy, acerbic, Paul it seems drink agrees with you. Great stuff.
Wonderful opening, Paul. I love unlikely, mismatched pairs. You're really developing a style of contemporary noir that's uniquely yours.
Wonderful story. I too especially like the opening. The style is very classically done "gumshoe". I enjoyed it greatly.
I do think, however, your William Conrad picture is of the "Cannon" era, and not the "Nero Wolfe" era (I am a fan of the cheesy show, "Cannon").

As always, masterful noir with spot-on imagery.
Good stuff, Paul. Some very nice phrases, but this was my favorite: "After a few sips the words tumbled out of her mouth like a gang of drunks staggering out of a pub at closing time ..."
I think you have a winning pair here. I'd love to read more about this mismatched set.
Cheers all. I think I'll continue with these two , then.
Definitely continue Paul. This is a great start to a beautiful friendship.
A top write Mr Brazill that you should continue. An opening sentence is always one of the most important parts of a story and yours in this piece is a belter. :-)
Fantastic voice! What a great character.
