“That looks right to me,” LaBelle said. “But why is this important?”

Before Julie could respond, there was a knock at the door. “It’s for you, Mr. LaBelle,” Mrs. Detweiller said when Julie opened the door. “Mr. Swanson’s calling. He said he tried you at your office and they said you were here. He says it’s urgent.”

“You can use my phone,” Julie said.

“Good morning, Steven,” the attorney said after Mrs. Detweiller transferred the call to Julie’s phone. The look on his face told Julie something was wrong. “Just now? That’s strange … But I’m not a criminal lawyer. I can recommend one, but do you think that’s necessary? Maybe it’s just routine.”

Julie felt uncomfortable listening in, but her curiosity trumped that feeling.

“Okay, I’ll stop by and see what’s happening. I’ll call you from there—you’re at the house, right? Okay. Don’t worry; I’m sure there’s a simple explanation. I’ll talk to you shortly.”

Henry returned the phone to the cradle and sat silently for a few seconds, apparently collecting his thoughts. Julie asked, “Something wrong?”

“Not sure. Seems strange to me: Mike went to the Swansons’ this morning and asked Elizabeth to come to the police station to answer some questions. Steven’s upset. As I told him, I don’t do criminal law, although I am the family lawyer, so I think I’d better go over to the station and see what’s happening. I’ll get back to you later about the probate situation,” he said as he left.

“Probate?” Julie said aloud. “What about Elizabeth?”
