DAWSON had been drinking. The bottle of whisky on the table at his elbow was a third empty. Liquor blurred his voice, but it failed to hide the lurking terror in his eyes.

“Anything new?”

“I told you to lay off booze,” Stoner snapped.

“I can’t help it. I’m scared! Cardona and Malone called on Helene today.”

Stoner’s eyes remained on the trembling gunman, as if weighing and measuring him.

“Are you still sure you don’t know where the Colette painting is?”

“I swear I don’t know a thing about it!”

Stoner smiled. He walked to the table, poured himself a drink. He turned, his cold eyes lifting toward the wall behind him. There was a framed painting on the wall. He raised his glass in an oddly humorous gesture of a silent toast.

The crouched figure of a magnificent dog seemed almost alive on the canvas. The eyes gleamed, the jaws hung open, displaying the curve of white, powerful fangs.

It was the portrait of - a foxhound.
