Novel Excerpt / The Blues--From my time as a Long Island cop

The Blues -- Whack! Solid golf shot. You may have your back turned, or your head down, but that thick, complete whack sound  lets you know what a good one it was. Bobby Sills had his head down. He was reading a Sherlock Holmes story -- "The Speckled Band."  The good thickness of the iron shot lifted his head from the page. Bobby's orange and blue Nassau County police patrol car was parked under the cover of the thick, tall, dew-wet oaks gathered behind the tee for the par three of the Woodside Country Club. The car was backed up the gravel cart path a few yards so it would be off the narrow road that twisted through the compact golf course.
