#874 The Ring of Kerry- Dennis McFadden
Lafferty was working a long con of a seemingly shy and gullible
woman named Eena. She was running from her violent ex-boyfriend was now in
prison, or so she said. He knew the girl had known the whereabouts of her
grandmother’s old ring. Her family finally convinced her to allow him to dig up her
grave to get it. But what about his wife? He had to shed himself of his old
entanglements.
“Betrayal was not his currency, but there were degrees of betrayal,
and accommodations could often be reached, given the right rationale.”
While digging up the grave he learned that there was a decoy
ring, and we find out both sides are playing each other. When a third party
gets into the act, things get messy. Don’t they always?
Notable Passage: “He was accustomed to cheap rooms, some of
the happiest moments of his life had been squandered in cheap rooms, and he
could only hope this would prove to be another.”
