Why this must be read:
The premise of this story from the author: After Doyle is killed in what appears to be a random accident, Bodie attempts to come to terms with all that was left unresolved between them. Then, miraculously, Doyle is discovered alive. But is the man claiming to be Ray Doyle actually a clever impostor?
What I really like about this story is that it keeps me guessing, misdirects me, and makes me wonder if I'm crazy or if the writer is. *bg* JGL gives me a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat. His case leads me down this path and that until I'm sure I know the truth. Then he tosses another little tidbit (or bombshell) out that makes me wonder if I know what the heck is going on. Excellent job and great writing make this story sing all the proper notes for me. JGL is a man who knows his craft and executes it very well.
With a sense of inevitability he paused in front of the board and stared at the smashed and partially-burned car. The blood-spattered windscreen.
“Is it Doyle?” he asked, already knowing the answer.
“Och, my office, man,” Cowley said, and there was compassion in his face.
Bodie brushed this off. He felt nothing staring at the photos. Distanced. It seemed unreal.
Fated.
Sooner or later it was going to be one of them. He’d just expected it to be himself—given the effort he put into making damned sure it wasn’t Doyle.
I can take it. He wasn’t sure if he thought it or said it aloud. What he did say was, “It’s easier if you just say it, sir.”
Cowley’s mouth thinned, he seemed to have to make some effort before he said flatly, “Agent 4.5 was pronounced dead at the scene…”
