The Group
by Kevin R. Doyle
GENRE: Mystery
BLURB:
Sure,
Ron Green had made a mistake, but it wasn't one that millions of other guys
hadn't made before him. And maybe he deserved some sort of punishment, like his
wife leaving him or his kids hating his guts. But this? Being the main suspect
in a single murder was bad enough, but at the same time knowing he was a
potential victim of a serial killer was even worse. However, before Green could
convince the cops of his innocence, he first had to convince them the serial
killer actually existed, and at the moment they weren't believing a thing he
said.

Excerpt
Three:
“Tell me one thing, though. Am I officially a suspect?”
“They didn’t charge you and lock you up. But like I keep
telling you, it’s early yet. As far as I could tell, yeah, they’re looking at
you. There’s one tone with questioning witnesses and another with people
they’re actually focusing on.”
“Yes?” So far, Ron hadn’t taken a single bite out of his
chicken sandwich and had only idly toyed with the fries.
“More than likely, if you haven’t done anything, you’ll be
okay.”
“If?”
“Let me finish. You’ll more than likely be okay. But if it
gets bad, and I mean really bad, then we’ll have to call someone else in.”
“Why? You’re a criminal lawyer, right?”
“I am. But something like this is way out of my league. If
it would happen to get as far as a courtroom, we’ll have to call in a bigger
gun.”
“Someone else from your firm?”
“Maybe, but I’d actually feel better with a few names I can
think of on the outside.”
Ron had thought, over the last twenty-four hours, his
stomach couldn’t lurch any more. Now, the thought of mounting, and major, legal
bills facing him down, at the same time as dissension with his wife and
children, made him want to go in a corner somewhere and curl up into a ball.
And the worst part was, he had absolutely no idea how long
all this hell was going to last.
