The Strand
a novel

Anne felt gloved fingers raking her throat, felt the pearls pop, saw Paul struggling with the man, then heard the explosion of the gun. Trying to scream, but paralyzed, Anne looked down. Her pearls were scattering across the brick sidewalk, rolling into the cracks, bouncing slowly toward the grass. Most of them were spattered with Paul's blood.
