Lay Lines by Carol Lay for September 26, 2016

Her own murder, she wrote.

$20, I don’t give the book to someone who knows you.

I hope that’s the “author’s” wife in the last panel.

A fine case of irony and the protagonist losing in a twisted ending. I can see this filmed in crisp black and white for Thriller or TZ. Excellent again! What she could have done is written it in a certain way to where it only worked on paper with a fatal flaw only revealed in reality.

In panel 7, the word is spelled “colleAgue.”
