Your Red Wagon

Who...or what...was Bobbie Ross running from? Or had someone forced her to “disappear”? Matthew Ross was almost as worried about her as her friend Phyllis Vincent. Bobbie’s mother Lesley Frobisher didn’t seem to be worried at all, but then Lesley never worried about anything, not even herself. Sam Macklin could testify to that, or he could have, until a week ago. So, could Mario Williams, Macklin’s right hand at the Marrakesch Casino.  As for Bucky Wallace, the drifter Matt Ross gave a lift into town to, no one could figure out what his connection was to any of it.  Not Dells, the cop. Not Ed Gurney, Assistant D. A. and Phyllis’s

boyfriend. Not even Pete Hudson, the part-time private eye Phyllis hired to find Bobbie. The only one who seemed to know anything was a local Reno private snoop name Pinky, and he wasn’t talking.  Well, not at first, anyway.
