A glimpse of death

Through the narrow gap in the curtains, George Coe could see no more than a radio dial. But, from this slender evidence, he was able to prove that Larry was in urgent need of an alibi. The difficulty was in deciding for what he needed the alibi - the robbery or the murder.

The fact that the robbery involved drugs, and that the body was that of Henry Saturn, hit-man for Sarturo, made things a little dangerous. Sarturo demanded revenge, and quickly. So George had to move fast, and as nippily as an injured leg and a walking stick would permit.

Someone had to die, and perhaps there were three sides to this elusive alibi. After all, George had worked from only a glimpse.
