Today’s excerpt is from Too
Many Women, the first of three Bob Becker books. Bob gets a new client, after his office is
shot up and he shots the two men responsible.
Enjoy and have a wonderful day.

Terri swallowed
as she walked alongside Bob. As they
headed toward the car, Bob asked, “If I may ask, why were you coming in to my
office?”
“Hopefully to
hire you—for protection.”
“From whom and
why?”
“My
husband. He and two of his men killed a
woman in our home yesterday.”
Bob frowned,
“Normally I don’t take domestic cases—but in this case, I’d say you need
protection, if these guys were after you.
I don’t come cheap.”
“I’m loaded…my
own money. Got more’n my husband.”
Bob grunted, and
then as they reached the car, grabbed the hair of the dead man, lifted his
head, and turned his face to give Terri a good look. “That’s Moonbeam—one of the guys with my
husband yesterday. I think his last name
is Brown.”
Bob chuckled
while leading Terri around the car. As
he did, he scanned the area to look for more possible trouble and noted the
sound of sirens getting nearer by the second.
When they reached the driver’s side of the car, the driver’s face was
turned toward them. Terri looked at
him. “Dingy Reid…the other guy from
yesterday…um, with my husband.”
Bob led Terri
back around the car. Once there, he
released her arm, and put his gun back in his right hand. “May as well wait for the cops right here. You want to tell me the full story of what’s
going on?”
