Mr. French leaps to his feet, his face flush with embarrassment.
“Ahhh,” he stammers.
The woman peers down at him for a moment, her face a mask of stone. But then something unexpected happens and her features soften.
“You know where I live,” she says in a slightly gentler tone.
Mr. French nods, his face bright red, as the woman turns to shoo Clifford away from the front doors and makes her exit.

About the Author
M.C. Grant is the secret identity of international thriller writer Grant McKenzie. (Oops, there goes that secret.) Born in Scotland, living in Canada, and writing fast-paced fiction, Grant likes to wear a kilt and toque with his six-guns. Often compared to Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay, Grant has three internationally published thrillers to his name—Switch, No Cry for Help, and K.A.R.M.A.—that have earned him an avalanche of positive reviews and loyal readership around the globe. As a journalist, he has won numerous awards across Canada and the United States, including one in 2012 from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia—the same organization that Dixie’s fictitious San Francisco NOW belongs to. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of Monday Magazine in Victoria, B.C. You can find him online at: http://grantmckenzie.net.
