Red Harvest Chapter 17 Summary

Reno

  • The Op arrives at Dinah's place and she looks like a knockout in her rose-colored dress.
  • But the cheerful mood doesn't last long when Dinah finds out that Max didn't kill Tim and she had framed him for nothing.
  • Dinah becomes paranoid that she'll get killed and refuses to leave the house.
  • So they decide to cook a meal at home and end up having a pretty swell time.
  • Dinah suddenly has the urge to go to Reno Starkey's celebration. Reno had been arrested for sticking up a jewelry store and he was just released on bail today.
  • When Dinah and the Op pull up to the Silver Arrow, they hear gunshots and Reno comes running out of the roadhouse.
  • Dinah calls out to him and Reno jumps into the moving car, and the three speed away as fast as they can away from Personville.
  • Turns out that some uninvited guests came to crash Reno's party.
  • They drive to an empty shack, but Reno pretends that he's going to park the car and instead drives off with it, leaving Dinah and the Op stranded in the middle of nowhere. Nice guy, this Reno.
  • The Op thinks it's unsafe for them to stay at the shack since the men after Reno probably know about it, so the two walk down the road toward a farmhouse.
