Today’s excerpt is from Pool
Of Blood, the third of three Bob Becker books. On learning Michelle had been shot at, Holly
makes a fast decision to alter her flight course to Bob’s landing strip and
home so she and Jim can help out. Enjoy
and have a fantastic day.

Both women
laughed as Bob started eating. They
finished first and were starting the clean-up when Bob’s phone rang again. He rolled his eyes, looked at it, then
grinned. “Hi, Holly. How’s the best lookin’ woman I’m not married
to doing?”
Michelle rolled her eyes and shook her head. Holly Scott was the best-looking woman
Michelle had ever seen in her life. Her
body—especially her bust line—was also unworldly. Michelle had a well endowed chest, but
nothing like Holly.
Holly laughed,
“Just fine…thanks for the compliment. If
your honey is handy, ask her if she’s ready for some more flying lessons. Jim and I are on our way to the rehab
complex. We plan on spending a week or
so in the area.”
“I’m sure she’d
love it, Holly, but we’ve got a couple of hot fish to fry…not the least of
which is Michelle getting shot at yesterday, coming out of the St. Charles
courthouse. This right after she picked
up a new case on a guy who was convicted of a murder it really looks like he
might not have done. We don’t know if
the two are connected at this point, but would like to see you and Jim—and
maybe she can take some time to go flying.”
“Hold on,
Bob—I’m changing course to your place.
Be there in about fifteen minutes.
What’s your wind direction?”
Bob stood up,
looked out the window at the windsock at the end of his runway, and answered,
“Calm. You can come in either way.”
“See ya.”
Bob looked at
the dead phone in his hand, laughed, and quickly told Michelle to expect
guests, then explained Holly’s reaction to his report of the shooting.
