The Mayor of Lexington Avenue
“He and Dick had sat on the back porch until the wee hours of the morning drinking beer and solving the problems of the world. Now with his head pounding, he couldn’t even remember what one of those problems was.
He showered quickly, put on the extra pair of slacks and shirt he’d brought with him and waited for Dick to wake up so they could go to the copy place.
It took a little over an hour to have the file copied. He and Dick went out for breakfast. Then he dropped the old detective off and he...aded for Indiantown, where Joaquin Sanchez now lived permanently. Dick had called the night before ostensibly to let Joaquin know Jack was coming. But Jack knew the real reason—the address. Dick had to get Joaquin’s permission to give out his address. They’ve still got each other’s back.
Joaquin also lived on the water, a small canal that meandered out to Lake Okeechobee. He was cleaning his boat when Jack arrived. Jack rang the bell and stood at the front door for ten minutes before he thought to look in the backyard.MoreLess
