Those were the people with something to hide—not guilty people, but people with secrets. There were even more people with nothing to hide at all, but who nevertheless resented being picked up and questioned.

There were those three months her neighbour’s read her mail. The cop was young, younger than her. “May I?” he asked, and grabbed the open envelopes off the kitchen table. She took a long sip, the time it took him to file through each piece, as if it would provide motive. After he left, she pressed her ear to the hall wall and heard him reason that her life wasn’t all that interesting. Perhaps they should take out a magazine subscription, Reader’s Digest or Seasoned Citizen.
