the last book I ever read (The Long-Legged Fly: A Lew Griffin Novel by James Sallis, excerpt five)

from The Long-Legged Fly: A Lew Griffin Novel by James Sallis:

I picked up yesterday’s Times-Picayune and glanced through it. All the headlines were about the heat wave, or the brownouts, or the president’s trip to wherever, but right in along there, a little lower, were the usual burglaries, rapes and murders that make the world go round. Fine city, New Orleans. I’d been other places. It was still my favorite. Just don’t ask me why.
