Description
We welcomed the warmth of the Chief Inspectors office. Even the short walk across the canal bridge from our office to his was bone chilling. This December had been a succession of very cold snowy and sleety storms. We'd worked through the weekend writing our report on what we'd, casually, called The Gordian Knot case. Karen, Jan's secretary, met us at the top of the stairs outside her office. Without so much as a word of warning she gave Barb a hug. "I wish you well in your new jobs."Barb's look went from puzzled to slowly pleased to concerned. "What?"I'll miss seeing you as often, well at least I'll see you when you've been back in Amsterdam."Karen," I interjected. "we're not moving. We like living right where we are. We'll still be employed by and have an I. Brown and Company office across the canal. We made it very clear to the Dean that neither one of us wanted a full time teaching job with all the academic moss that goes with it, and he agreed to our terms. So all the Director and Jan have to do is agree to similar terms." The 4th of 5 novels in the Barbara and Dominic series.
