The cops came for Luther Beale late that afternoon. They had a search warrant, but he wasn’t being officially charged, not yet, just taken in for questioning. Tyner suspected they had waited until late in the day hoping Beale would be tired, presumably easier to wear down during the interrogation. Tess thought the cops should know Luther Beale better than that.

“But this is good for us,” Tyner told Tess, when she telephoned to say they had taken Beale away and started searching his apartment. “I bet they don’t have any physical evidence or eyewitnesses to link him to the twins’ deaths.”

“They want my files, though, and they want to interview me. The homicide detective in charge of the case tried to tell me my files aren’t privileged because Beale hired me before he was a suspect. When that didn’t work, they brought back Tull, who went all moral on me, saying he just wanted me to do the right thing for myself, so my conscience could be clear.”

Tyner laughed. “Good effort. But we have my paperwork to show that Beale came to you as a referral. I’ll be at police headquarters if you need me. Luther Beale and I have a long night ahead of us, but I’ll have him out eventually.”
