Pacific Breeze Hotel
Chapter One
Nolan stuffed half a cinnamon bun into his mouth. "So are you going to ask
Little Miss Redhead to the Policemen's Ball?"
O'Rourke frowned. "That's six months away."
"I have a feeling you'll still be seeing each other."
His partner didn't respond so Nolan got down to business. He pulled a folder out
of his desk and handed it to O'Rourke.
O'Rourke glanced at it. "What's this?"
"Come to find out, DeWarner's wife craved a divorce. Got tired of all the rumors
about starlets in the pool house. And get this-Mrs. DeWarner's father happens to
be the head of the Carmini crime family in Chicago. Supposedly, she ran to Daddy
and spilled the beans about Hubby's unfaithfulness. Daddy takes care of problem.
Instant divorce."
O'Rourke's eyes narrowed. "Where did you hear that?"
"You think you're the only one with connections in the movie business?"
"Are we talking a professional hit?"
Nolan shrugged. "Maybe."
O'Rourke shook his head. "But if it's one of Carmini's guys, he's back in
Chicago safe and sound in the midst of the family."
