Wow, deb. It's why such outrageous stories can be written, shit like that actually does happen.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I mean, does that little newspaper item lack one single damned element for the ultimate noir soap opera? A dom - married, no less, a bank account a Chagall, four bullets execution style....
Just, wow. If I wrote that kind of book, I'd be salivating, at least once I stopped laughing.

It begs Peter Sellers for the banker, or maybe, the husband. James Mason for the banker, if either of them were still around. And maybe a young Ursula Andress for the mistress/wife.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What a great story. Thanks for posting it, Deb!

A French financier, a dom named Cecile (good heavens), a Chagall...
I'm swooning. Damn, I wish I wrote that kind of mystery. Said it before, and I'll say it again, I couldn't come up with a plot like this one if I practiced for three weeks in a dark room first.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
For some reason, it makes me very, very happy that these sort of things do happen in real life.

Wow, I'd love to write a caper like that.. One story at a time, though. Everytime that cell door dings, another Leonard gets his wings.(although mixed with Le Carre or somebody) EL does say he gets inspired by stuff in the paper all the time.

it's reassuring in a chaotic, "the world has not gone under to oppression" sort of way.
