Mooner was walking around laying his hands on the cars, divining karma. this is it, he said, standing by a small khaki-colored jeep.this car has protective qualities You mean like a guardian angel? I...
Maybe it's just not the right time for us to be married. I don't want to be a bounty hunter for the rest of my life, but I certainly don't want to be a housewife right now. And I really don't want to...
Lula got into line, and I relaxed in Ranger's Mercedes. Vlatko was out of the picture. Ranger was safe. I was wearing my own underwear. Life was good.
Looks like you're on a roll. This is the second car you've toasted this week.Carl Costanza - Hot Six
Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time rolling on the ground with men who think a stiffy represents personal growth.
Jamie felt as though her heart would literally take flight from her crest. Damn her and her mouth. Nick, I was sort of exaggerating about how nasty I was going to act of the plane. Why can’t we just l...
I’m told there’s a paint specialist in Denver who does wonderful work, Judy said. I’ve started a GoFundMe page for Mr. Murphy. That’s a excellent idea, Lula said. I hear those pages rake in big bucks....
I’m only getting one doughnut, Lula said, getting out of the Firebird. I’m on a new diet where I only have one of anything. Like I can have one pea. And I can have one piece of asparagus. And I can ha...
I’m going back to bed, Grandma said when Mooner and Dougie left. This doesn’t look too interesting. I liked it better the other night when you were on the floor with the bounty hunter.Morelli gave me...
I’d call Ranger and see if he wanted to run with me. Then he’d be over here first thing tomorrow and make me go out and get some exercise. Yo, Ranger said, answering the phone. His voice was husky, an...
It’s good to have a Ranger, Lula said. He’s like a personal Spidey.
It’s a long story, I said. The short version is Diesel and I are pretending to get married, so we can get Kloughn to marry Valerie. Does Morelli know about this? It’s pretend. I’m not even gonna ask i...
It's the twenty-first century. I told Tank. Women drive.Only in my bed, Tank said. Never in my car.
It was mesmerizing, Grandma said. It was like staring into the eye of a cobra. I don’t care if I do anything else on the bucket list. This was awesome. It was like a biblical experience.
Is that your granny? Ranger wanted to know. Yup. She was checking to make sure Moogey was here. You’ve got a helluva gene pool, babe.
If you had told somebody in the year 1800 that there were invisible things called germs and that they were responsible for the common cold, he would have thought that you were crazy and believed in ma...
If you buy chocolate with loose change the calories don’t count.
If she had any sense at all, she’d clean out her desk and look for another job. Something safe and sane, like catching alligators or looking for land mines in Afghanistan.
I was on my back, looking up at Morelli through cobwebs, and my first thought was that the 7-Eleven victim had exacted revenge on me, and I’d been stun gunned. The cobwebs cleared, and I discounted st...
I was in no rush to get back to the funeral parlor, so I called Ranger again. Hi, I said to his answering service. It’s me. Things are looking up. Your wife is tailing me, but she hasn’t shot at me ye...
