Here Comes the Big One

Peter Fell, the dead guy in the bathroom, hanged himself, the suicide of choice around here. (In the Midwest, they prefer shotguns to the head, but Concord?s ?a hanger town.?) Nevertheless, Palace thinks something?s fishy about the death, and he pursues the case in the face of everyone else?s disbelief and disinterest. The victim?s relatives don?t care about Palace?s theories. The scumbags he shakes down for information are mostly exasperated by his diligence: ?You know, a lot of cops are quitting,? one says. ?Moving to Jamaica and so forth. Did you ever think about that, Palace?? Even when Palace turns up evidence that Fell may have been wrapped up in something big, his colleagues treat him like an overeager kid. ?I?ll tell you what,? cracks the assistant D.A. ?We?ll call it an attempted murder. It?s a suicide, but you?re attempting to make it a murder.?
