    Summary

    Catherine Walsh had a feeling in 1974 that offering Sam Gerard a job was one of the best hiring decisions she had ever made as Deputy Marshal. Eighteen years later, Walsh knows it’s one of the best decisions she ever made with the Marshals Service. This is completely irrelevant to the fact that Sam is one of her most difficult Deputy Marshals, for reasons Walsh is familiar with and for one particular reason that Walsh has guessed but is not her business to know. Until two organized crime detectives decide it is her business to know, and that it’s her business to use it to fire Sam.  

    Or: Marshal Catherine Walsh muses on Sam Gerard, on fairness and petty cruelties, on the many things she has done for Sam over the years, and on one time she gets to show Sam that family has always been a two-way street.  

    A companion piece to “talking is what we do to each other with words (but baby we don’t talk)”
