Nice Place for a Murder

by Bloom, Bruce Jay

  “They going ahead with the stock thing, then?” Wally said.

  “I think they’ll wait now, for a quarter, maybe two,” I said. “Show the world that Julian Communications continues to be a moneymaker, no matter about Sosenko and the killings.”

  “And the bottom line is, people get killed, and those guys get rich,” Wally said.

  “You did what they asked you,” Alicia said, looking from me to Wally and back again. “You got the killer.”

  “I suppose you might say that.” I shielded my eyes from the bright sun and stared across the Sound. Gulls soared far out over the water, and the Connecticut shoreline was sharp and clear in the autumn air.

  Alicia and Ben’s Lemon Chicken

  3-pound broiling chicken, split in half

  1 cup fresh lemon juice

  1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  2 tsp red wine vinegar

  1 tsp minced garlic

  1/2 tsp dried oregano

  1/8 cup chopped parsley

  Salt and pepper

  Broil the chicken halves until the skin is golden and just starting to char, and the juices run clear when you pierce the thigh where it joins the breast. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the lemon sauce: whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano and chopped parsley, plus salt and pepper to taste. Using a very sharp knife, cut each cooked chicken half into pieces (with each breast cut into thirds). Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet that has sides, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Put the chicken and sauce under the broiler for four or five minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce, and plenty of crusty bread so your guests can mop up the sauce.
