In between bites of her turkey sandwich and fries topped with a generous portion of gravy, and the periods when Betsy left to take care of the other customers that walked into the bar to eat and drink, Arabella filled Betsy in on what she’d learned so far: the houseboat rental; Emily’s meeting with Kevin; Levon’s account about meeting with his father; how Elvis bought expensive binoculars from Ned; and the other guy with the FYSST tattoo, who went to the Sunrise Cafe for lunch.

“Let me get this straight,” Betsy said. “Marc Larroquette, aka Laurentian, belonged to an organization called FYSST. He went to Toronto to make amends with Chloe—that’s a bit of a mind blower, her connection to Levon—and then to Lount’s Landing to do the same with Levon. Next thing you know, Marc turns up dead at the golf tournament. Is that about the gist of it?”

“An admirable summary.”

“Do you think Elvis might be the murderer?”

Arabella shook her head. “I don’t think so. People will remember a guy that looks like him. A murderer would want to keep a low profile. My guess is that Elvis was going to Lakeside to meet Marc. I’m not sure how the binoculars fit in. Maybe they don’t. Maybe he just wanted a pair and I’m reading too much into it.”

“What about the other guy with the same tattoo?”

“I wish I knew, though the reality is he’ll be more difficult to find. Fran called him nondescript.” Arabella brightened. “She did say that the guy ordered a BLT with double bacon and mustard instead of mayonnaise. Maybe he came in here another time.”

“I do remember a guy like that. Who puts mustard on a BLT? But I didn’t get his name, and he only came in once.”

“Did he have a tattoo?”

“It was earlier in the year. Springtime, I think. He was probably wearing a jacket or a long- sleeved shirt.” Betsy sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m not being much help. I can’t even remember what he was wearing.”

“Do you think you would recognize him if you saw him again?”

“Probably. I’m good at matching faces with orders. You have to be, in this business. Why?”

“Because I have to find one or both of those men. I just don’t know where to look.”

“I don’t know about your guy with the BLT and mustard, but as for Elvis, you might try the Elvis Festival in Collingwood. It’s on later this week. A guy like that, he’d probably want to go to the Elvis Festival.”

“What Elvis Festival?”

“You’ve never heard of it? It’s in July, been going on for quite a few years. I used to date a guy who was really into Elvis, and he took me there. It was a lot of fun, actually.” Betsy sighed. “He was going to take me to Graceland, but I found out he was married.”

“How’d you find out?”

“His wife called to tell me. I gather I wasn’t his first transgression.”

Arabella couldn’t help but grin. When it came to men, Betsy’s loser radar was legendary.
