"And why do you think I killed this guy?" Vance leans back in the cold metal chair, his wrists cuffed to the table. He studies the detective opposite him—impeccable in pearls and a braid, looking like she solved the crime over champagne. Her narrowed eyes meet his mocking gaze.

He leans forward, forcing her to retreat an inch. "But I wouldn't mind seeing you again," he grins, resisting the urge to wink. "You know where I live."
