chapter 3
two days later , just after five . nina drove north on the neveda side of the road that that circled lake tahoe .
her response attorney betty jo pucketty was nothin if not decisive . she had callled nina within an hour of the faxed service to her office and invited nina to have a drink her at her home in inclune village , on the north shore .
in all her time practiceing law at tahoe , nina had never been invited to the home of another lawyer , a talk like this would ordinarily occur in a paneled office where computers clicked and whirred just outside the door .the reasoon , she had long ago decided , was that she was one of the few women lawyers in twon . men could meet after work , but a meeting with a woman lawyer caused gossip and trouble at home .
she hoped ms , pucketty would be reasonable . maybe she'seven a congenial person , a new friend . nina snorted at herself as she waited at the stateline light . a new friend ! the woman was a lawyer on the other side of a case . for pete's sake !
at least she'd enloy the forty five minute drive .
