Mark shook his head. “He's the only one with an absolutely airtight alibi for anything. The poor fellow had a third operation last week. He's been in the hospital since they released him as a POW from Vietnam. But there's his wife—”

“But you are not sure there was anything wrong with Mrs. Horvath's death. And Roderick might have been killed by someone with no connection with the family at all!”

“I am afraid that would be overly optimistic.”

I was back in the place where the past and present revolved dizzily together.

“So you want me to watch the suspects for you? How did you know where I was today?”

“You were followed.”

“I should have invited my tail’ to share a taxi, then,” I flared. “And I have no talent for spying! What right—”

“Have I to ask you to do so?” he finished.

“Yes, what indeed?”

“Someday—” His face was unreadable, and chilled me by its closed-in quality, its lack of expression. “We shall have some explanations. In the meantime—yes, I have no right to ask this of you. I'm on a job. I was called in because of Roderick. I will not meddle at all if this proves to be a routine crime investigation, but I have a hunch. Sometimes one develops a sixth sense.”
