About the Author
An Incursion of Mice
Here’s what I know: You can’t have a crime without an explosion.
I know this from my vast study of crime, criminal behavior, and detective work.
I do this study from my couch in the basement. Sometimes I sit on the large recliner, usually resting on a blanket in the lap of one of the servants. I prefer the male servant because he caters to me. The female servant feeds me, but doesn’t brush me or coddle me.
She claims that I am convinced that I am the center of the universe.
As I understand the universe—and granted, I understand it less than crime and criminals—it has no center. She means that I am self-involved and self-centered.
I am not.
