This session was the most crowded one I'd seen so far. Exhibit tables lined the perimeter of the vast space. Attendees pawed through piles of new releases and pocketed free pens and bookmarks. Shirtless “cowboys”, tattooed “bikers”, and handsome men in suits (“billionaires?”) roamed the floor, stopping every so often to sign book covers for hyperventilating fans. Gertie stood on her tippy-toes and craned her neck, looking for Larry. There was no sign of him.

“Maybe he’s not interested in hanging around with a bunch of half-dressed twenty-year-old guys,” Ida Belle said. “If you’re worried, just call him on his cell.”

“I don’t have his number,” Gertie said. “We’ve been spending so much time together, it never occurred to me that I’d need it. Oh, I hope he's okay.”

Ida Belle rolled her eyes.

“It’s just NOLA PD, not the Ban An Ninh. Jeez, with you all gaga about Larry, and Fortune here mooning over Carter, seems like I’m the only one who’s still got her head on straight.”

Gertie looked puzzled. “Fortune mooned Carter?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not ‘mooning’ over anyone. Gertie, they're just going to ask him some questions, like they did with Ida Belle and me. Let's calm down and relax and enjoy whatever it is we’re supposed to be doing here.”

I had no idea what Detective Augustine had in mind for Larry, but Larry wasn't my problem. Ida Belle was off the hook for now, and that was all I was worried about.

Gertie sighed. “I don’t like to think that my Larry might’ve murdered someone.”

“It's possible that no one murdered anyone,” I said. “Gertie, you heard what Felicity’s assistant said. She'd been writing naughty books on the side. Maybe she ended it all when it looked like she was going to be exposed.”

“There’s nothing at all wrong with naughty books. I wish people would stop implying that there was. Oh dear. Maybe she died by her own hand after all. It’s terrible to think of anyone sinking to that level of despair, even if it was Felicity Vigneau.”

“Yeah, even I feel a little sorry for her,” Ida Belle grumbled. “Darn it.”

“Well I still don't see Larry...” Gertie stood on tiptoe again and took one last look around. “As long as we’re here, we may as well stand in line to meet the cover models.”

We took our places at the end of a very long line. Gertie nudged me. “Who’s up there, Fortune? I can’t see over everyone’s heads.”

I could easily see over the crowd to the “cover model hunks” posing with fans at the front of the line.

“Looks like they’re changing shifts,” I said. “A soldier and a, looks like a highway patrolman, I think, hard to tell cause they’re not wearing shirts, are leaving, and a cowboy and a biker are taking their place.
