Clark  \n1  \nIt wouldn’t kill her. Probably wouldn’t kill her.  \nEyebrows knit together beneath a snowflake cap, Lieutenant Eve Dallas strode through the flood of people on the crowded sidewalk with thoughts nearly as bitter as the February wind.  \nShe’d rather be back in her vehicle and driving home through the jam of other vehicles. Down to it, she’d rather engage in mortal combat in some downtown alleyway with a Zeused-up chemi-head than head for some fussy fern bar.  \nBut a deal was a deal, and she’d run out of excuses—reasons, she selfcorrected. She’d had solid reasons to put this deal off.  \nLike murder.  \nA murder cop dealt with murder and all it entailed. Not fancy drinks and small talk.  \nResigned, she stuffed her hands—she’d forgotten her damn gloves again—in the pockets of her long leather coat that snapped and billowed around her long legs. Her gaze scanned as she hiked the two blocks, brown and canny cop’s eyes on alert. Maybe she’d spot a street thief; Christ knew plenty of tourists clipped by with their wallets all but hanging out saying: Take me.  \nNot her fault if she had to make an arrest and put this little meet off, again. But apparently the snatchers and pickers had taken the evening off.  \nShe reminded herself drinks with Dr. Garnet DeWinter, fashion plate, forensic anthropologist, and mild irritant, couldn’t annoy or bore her to actual death.  \nAnd if death by boredom equaled a potential risk, surely they had come up with a cure by 2061.  \nThirty minutes, she vowed. Forty max, and she’d be done. Deal complete. She stopped in front of the bar, a tall, rangy woman in flat, sturdy ankle boots, a long black coat, and the incongruous ski cap with a snowflake  \nshimmering over her choppy brown hair and knitted eyebrows. DU VIN.  \nStupid name for a bar, she thought, her wide mouth twisting in derision. Snooty French name for a bar.  \nShe wondered if Roarke owned it, because her husband owned damn near everything else. She’d rather be having a drink with him. At home.  \nBut she wasn’t.  \nShe reached for the door, remembered the snowflake cap. She yanked it off, stuffed it in her pocket to maintain a little dignity.  \nShe stepped out of the noise and rush of downtown New York, into the fern-and flower-decked noise of the trendy, overpriced drinking hole.  \nThe bar itself, a dull and elegant silver, swept itself into an S curve along the facing wall. Mirrored shelves filled with shiny bottles backed it. On the top shelf exotic red flowers spilled out of black-and-white checked pots.  \nStools with black-and-white checked seats lined the front. An ass filled every seat while other patrons crowded in, keeping the trio of bartenders busy.  \nThe generous space, artistically lit by silver pendants twisted into floral shapes, provided room for high tops, low tops, booths, and the waitstaff, dressed in sharply severe black, moving among them.  \nJust under the drone o","cbCaid8crXjJ7aLr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid8crXjJ7aLr","pdf",1592252,327,"English","# About the Author\n# Copyright Page\n# Chapter 1","[{\"question\":\"Who is Lieutenant Eve Dallas meeting, and where?\",\"answer\":\"Lieutenant Eve Dallas is meeting Dr. Garnet DeWinter at the bar called Du Vin in downtown New York.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Eve want the meeting to be quick?\",\"answer\":\"Eve intends to handle the deal within a short time window, keeping it brief and controlled despite her reluctance to be there.\"},{\"question\":\"What complication does Eve notice at the bar?\",\"answer\":\"Eve recognizes Larinda Mars, a gossip/social information reporter, and worries about being turned into an on-air item.\"}]","Secrets in Death - JD Robb | PDF",1789946163,504]
