Tuesday Intro/Teaser

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.


"Tom Peterson sat tall behind his desk. He wore tailored jeans, zippered boots, an aquamarine Ben Sherman shirt, and an aquamarine tie bearing large white polka dots. His blond hair was carefully disheveled. His hands were folded in his lap. Spero Lucas, seated in a chair before the desk, was dressed in slim-cut Dickies work pants, a plain white T-shirt, and Nike boots. Lucas, Petersen's investigator, took in the criminal attorney's outfit with curiosity and amusement.
"What is it?" said Petersen.
"Your getup," said Lucas. "There's something about it."
"I only wear a tie when I'm in court."
"Something else."
"Think of your father. It'll come to you." Peterson looked down at the contents of a manila file that was open on his desk. Beside it sat other files heaped inside a reinforced hanging folder. The package was thick as a phone book. "Let's get back to this."

The Double by George Pelecanos

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading.

The opening was fun. I like the fashion report, although not exactly not exactly the normal start to a detective story.

Yvonne said...

Great teaser. I read something by this author a long time ago.
