Dr. Death [antikvár]

CHAPTERrony can be a rich dessert, so when the contents of the van were publicized, some people gorged. The ones who'd beheved Eldon H. Mate to be the Angel of Death.Those who'd considered him Mercy Personified grieved.I viewed it through a different lens, had my own worries.Mate was murdered in the very early hours of a sour-smelling, fog-laden Monday in September. No earthquakes or wars interceded by sundown, so the death merited a lead story on the evening news. Newspaper headlines in the Times and the Daily News followed on Tuesday. TV dropped the story within twenty-four hours, but recaps ran in the Wednesday papers. In total, four days of coverage, the maximum in short-attention-span L.A. unless the corpse is that of a princess or the killer can afford lawyers who yearn for Oscars.No easy solve on this one; no breaks of any land. Milo had been doing his job long enough not to expect otherwise.
