What I asked Mabel Miller was whether Richard Zaddicos was capable of murder, I couldn’t tell her the reason, but it didn’t matter. Mabel was a quick study, I saw the shock in her eyes. After she calmed, I watched her go through a thoughtful evaluation.
Finally, she looked at me and asked again, “have you ever read his book inspector?”
“One, fatal charm. Tough book.
He lives with those characters, inspector. Sometimes i think he forgets it’s only what he does for a living.
I saw the sel-judging look in her eyes, I leaned in closer, I don’t mean to hurt you. But I have to know, Could he kill? Is he capable of murder? I know he’s capable of completely debasing another human being, That’s murder isn’t it? He’s what they call a s****l sadist. His father used to beat his mother in their bed
