CHAPTER 9

Ellie finished the tasks Tyler had assigned and moved onto checking videos of Natalie Koslov’s most recent appearances on catwalks, including her Moscow trip the previous month. Those links Ellie sent to Rick with a message telling him to have the team look through the audiences, see if anybody pinged their arms-dealer radars. If Natalie was the point of contact for her Uncle Koslov, then there was a possibility that some of the customers attended her shows.

The Petrovs had to fit in here somewhere, too. Ellie did a few more standard web searches using the names of the dead men and got several hits. Clearly, they weren’t shy about using their names, and hello, they were in attendance at three specific fashion shows. Moscow a week before the first murder, Prague three days before the second, and London the night before the third death.

What the hell did this mean? Ellie ate another cinnamon candy and called Rick.

“What’s up?” he answered.

“Dude, did anyone check our dead guys’ connections to fashion shows other than me?”

Silence.

“So that’s a no. Well, I got something. Shows in each of the cities a few days before each of them died. Run that shit. Get lists of guests, if possible, and the models involved. And I want a raise.”

He laughed. “I’ll see what I can do. Nice find.”

“Damn right. I’m also going out for drinks with Jackson and some other staff, but he didn’t say who. Pig and Pint on Fifth. Five-thirty.”

“Okay. You hereby have official permission to imbibe a couple for the sake of appearances. Check in after.”

“Yep.” She hung up and stared at the clock on her laptop. An hour to go. So how about she dug around on the Petrovs some more? See what else she could turn up. Thirty minutes later, she hadn’t turned anything up that she didn’t already know, so she tried a web search on models with the last name of Petrov.

“Well, lookee here.”

Yana Petrov, based in London. She called Rick back.

“People are going to start rumors about us if you keep calling this much,” he said when he picked up.

“Whatever. Yana Petrov. Found her on the model circuit. Run her and see how she relates to Daddy Petrov, if at all. While you’re at it, see how many Petrovs and Koslovs are modeling.”

“Aren’t you just full of helpful tips.”

“See to that raise, bro.” She hung up. Yana had a website, so Ellie spent some time on it. Yana had been born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but worked primarily in London. Her events schedule, however, had her all over Europe and the US, like Natalie Koslov. On another hunch, Ellie did a search on both names to see if they’d pop up in any context together.

Yes. At two shows the year before and, most recently, in Paris and Moscow. Was Petrov scheduled for tomorrow’s show? Ellie popped back over to Petrov’s website but didn’t find it listed in the events. The next thing Petrov had coming up was in Los Angeles in a month.
