Douglas Preston Quote
His face. Fenton was never one to like a slow day. The look was enough to tell Barnaby that something big had just come down. Hutch? Hmmm? Fenton went on, breathlessly. The Broadbent place was robbed. I got one of the sons on the phone now. Hutch Barnaby didn’t move a muscle. Robbed of what? Everything. Fenton’s black eyes glittered with relish. Barnaby sipped his coffee, sipped again, and then lowered his chair to the floor with a small clunk. Damn. As Barnaby and Fenton drove out the Old Santa Fe Trail, Fenton talked about the robbery. The collection, he’d heard, was worth half a billion. If the truth were anything close to that, Fenton said, it would be front-page-New-York-Times. He, Fenton, on the front page of the Times. Can you imagine
