“WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK now?” McCord asked Sam as they walked along the sidewalk to his car. He was thoroughly pleased with Jane Sebring’s tearful revelation. “Tell me, did Leigh Manning have a motive for murder, or what?”

Sam looked up at the bright strip of blue sky, thinking. Until a few minutes ago, she hadn’t believed Leigh Kendall would have gone along with any plan of Valente’s to murder her husband, but Logan Manning’s affair with Jane Sebring changed things. . . . “I want the answers to two questions before I decide.”

“What questions?”

“I want to know if Leigh Manning knew about her husband’s affair with Sebring. I’d also like to check out the alibi Jane Sebring just gave us for Sunday night. We know that Leigh Manning had to stay after the matinee to work out some glitches with Solomon. But Jane Sebring says she left the theater right after the matinee and went directly home. She says she went to bed, but then she got up later, had dinner alone, and watched a movie on television. That’s not much of an alibi,” Sam pointed out.

“She told us what movie she watched, how much more proof do you need?”

“If she was smart enough to wrap Logan Manning’s hand around his gun after she blew his brains out, I imagine she’s smart enough to have looked at a TV Guide when she got home so that she could tell us what movies she watched. Oh—” Sam said, when she saw his smirk. “I thought you were serious.”

“You don’t want to believe Leigh Manning is guilty, do you?”

“I don’t have a preference,” Sam protested. “I just want to feel absolutely sure.”

“Check out Sebring’s alibi. She used a car service to take her home after the matinee, so they’ll have a record. She said she spoke to her doorman when she came in after the matinee.”

“The same doorman who took a bribe to rat on her about her affair with Manning? I’d be really impressed with his integrity.”

“He doesn’t work twenty-four hours a day. Maybe it was another doorman who saw her come in.”

“She could have left again without him seeing her. If she left right away, she would have made it to the mountains before it really started snowing.”

“True,” McCord said, glancing at his watch. “Let’s go over to Manning’s office and help Shrader and Womack question the employees.”
