Book Excerpt for the Day

    I had changed from my county-issued orange jump suit to a navy blue suit, starched white shirt, conservative tie and shined shoes.  My entire ensemble was set off by a pair of nicely buffed steel handcuffs which the prosecuting attorneys insisted I wore.  I didn’t know them well enough, but it seemed to suggest they might be kinky.

    “Did you win?”


    “Sometimes,” he replied, a little too offhandedly for my tastes.
