Why this must be read: Because even though she’s written many, many stories in Starsky and Hutch, this is one of her early ones and still my all-time favourite. It’s the rhythm and poetry of it – unique to Pepper - it's the way she draws you in from the very opening paragraph (quoted below), to the moments of ‘the in-between’ that she then illustrates in the lives of Starsky, Hutch, Dobey, and original characters a case brings them into contact with. And all rounded off with a lovely touch of hurt/comfort.
There is the time of in-between.
In-between when the phone rings and when it is answered.
In-between a toddler’s fall to the floor and the inevitable wail.
In-between the pull of a trigger and the bullet meeting its target.
In-between is the time one is awake and then falls over the edge into sleep, when possibility can make an unexpected turn.
In-between the jump from the bridge and contact with the hard surface of water.
In-between the time one sees a cop at the door and knowing in a few moments the bottom is going to fall out of your world.
The in-between can be only a few seconds. Or a few minutes. Sometimes it can take up an entire lifetime.
