The freeze-frame image of the man Thor was convinced was Tate Morley was printed out several times and sent around.

Not everyone who viewed the image necessarily believed that the man pictured in the rough footage was Tate Morley. Enfield himself was uncertain; Detective Brennan was hesitant to agree, as well.

Jackson, however, believed, as Thor did, that the man definitely could be the escaped convict and serial killer. He could easily change his appearance with different hair lengths and colors, facial hair and hats, glasses and all kinds of accessories.

Thankfully, Enfield and Brennan had enough faith in Thor to see to it that the man’s picture was plastered all over the local news, with the warning that he was known to change his appearance.

Thor looked at the footage over and over again—to the point where he thought even Jackson might lose patience—and yet Jackson and Clara sat with him in silence as he did so.

The problem was that no matter how many times they watched the tape, the man managed to disappear.

Not into thin air, but into a large group of people who arrived for what had apparently been some kind of a pharmaceutical convention. He was obscured by a large cardboard cutout of a smiling young doctor pointing to a host of reasons to take a new drug.

The group went by, pausing in front of the man, laughing and chatting for a moment, and then proceeding to the check-in counter.

And then the man was gone. Whether he had headed out of the hotel or toward the elevators, they just couldn’t see.

His disappearance was frustrating; at the least, Thor could be grateful that his superiors believed in him enough to warn the public about the possible appearance of a serial killer in their midst. Of course, the Seward population—actually the Alaskan population—was already on alert.

Before they left the station, Sally gave them her office space so that they could videoconference with Angela Hawkins at the Krewe headquarters.

She was perfect for Jackson, Thor thought. A woman who appeared to be extremely competent and, best of all, not just attuned to what he did with his life, but totally a part of it.

“I’m going through everything,” Angela said over the computer screen. “It’s difficult, because we’re tracing some calls through the routers. And his mail! My God, you wouldn’t believe the amount of women out there who write to men in prison! They think they’re the ones who can change them, or they’re the ones who understand them. I swear to you, we’ll get through all the letters and calls as quickly as possible. Luckily Will Chan is working in the office, and you know how great he is with computers and film, and people who are trying to hide with disguises or pay-as-you-go phones. We need a little time, though—please bear with us.”

“Of course,” Thor murmured. “Grateful that you’re there.”

“Thanks,” she said brightly. “And I’m grateful that you’re there—Jackson has talked about you quite a bit.”

“Scary,” Thor said.

Angela laughed. “All good.
