I slept until noon on a pullout couch in the three-season porch at the back of the house. A commuter train roared past and rattled the windows. Sleddog howled and moaned from the basement. In the kitchen I loaded the coffeemaker and started it brewing. Drops of coffee plunked in the pot and after a while the coffeemaker hissed and stopped dripping. I drank a cup and the caffeine cleared my head.

I turned on the radio, listened to the news, and heard nothing about a shooting in Boston. I saw the Herald on the counter and read the city section. Again, nothing about a shooting. Maybe Harraseeket Kid was on to something. Maybe Kenny Bowen had stage-managed the killing on the bridge.

But my thinking had cleared up after a sound sleep. In computer lingo, my mind had defragged. The scattered pieces of memory had reassembled into a lucid account of the shooting, and the imagery of it was nasty. Skull fragments, brain chunks, blood spillage. I pictured the lifeless eyes, eyes that could only belong to a dead man.

The killing was no hoax. Rat T. Kennedy blew the back of the man’s head off. So why was there nothing on the news? Why nothing in the paper? Boston loves a juicy murder story, especially a murder outside a federal courthouse.
