Stone told him about the bugs in the London house and their nature. Have you thought about a copycat? Stone said. After all, a series of murders is an invitation to anybody whod like to knock off a spouse or an ex. Shoemaker said,Paul, this guy sounds like a lawyer. Who woulda thought that about a fine Army lad. How did she strike you? Shit, thought Devine.Her room overlooks the front of the house. She heard everything. And that conversation signed Stamoss death warrant. The management was buying the company on the cheap because that was part of the plan. It was all front- and back-end-loaded with fees for the M and A boys. The sub would then issue debt that it never intended to repay. They would use the proceeds from the debt offering to pay management a huge dividend. Then they would go back to the bankers, wrap the junk debt with some decently rated stuff into a CBO, or collateralized bond obligation, and then sell it off to pension funds, police unions, and grandmas.

The man could only mean one thing.Brad Cowls palace, you mean? Yes, Im afraid so. Would you like me to take you to them? You know what time we got home this morning? he said. Yes or no, Mason said. Are you going to make a claim to the insurance company? Mason said,Now look, this hearing was in an adjoining county. After I secured your discharge I drove you back here. That took forty minutes. Now, how long after you arrived here at this apartment hotel, and I had let you out of the car at the curb, did Alder get here? Dorothy Quane ground her cigarette out in an ashtray. She kept on grinding it and smashing it even after it was out.I dont know, she said. “Let me think about it. Stone walked into his bedroom and found a note on his bedside table. Joan must have left it for him. Do... you sleep with all your...? Murder cases are never nice, Drake told him, particularly your murder cases. What makes them think its the same one? Mason asked, his eyes narrowing..
