Beyond Blue (2014)
“Steele pointed at a line in the ledger, and made a note in his smaller pad.
“You got it, partner,” Stone said, a bit louder than necessary.
There was a party atmosphere around the Mason dining room table. For much of the afternoon, Stone Mason had sat at one end of the table with photocopied pages from both ledgers. A mug of coffee sat by his right hand, a gin and tonic by his left.

“We have got them cold, partner,” Steele said, almost shouting over the Temptations playing in the background.MoreLess
