His wide jaw and high cheekbones framed dark, intense eyes that seemed to view everyone in the world with suspicion. Bennett steepled his big beefy hands on top of the massive desk. “Do I need my lawyer?” “I don’t know, do you?” Deputy Whitefeather asked. Ray liked the way the deputy operated. He was so still and calm that it was unnerving.
