Soon after I hung up, Milo called, and I told him Biondi would try to get the photo in.

“Thanks. Some of the prints came in from Koppel’s house, and sure enough, Gull’s are all over the place. Along with a bunch of others we can’t identify. One we could tag was some guy who showed up in the system because of an assault record, turns out he works for a heating and air-conditioning company, did a service call a month ago. His latents were on the furnace and nowhere else, so that fits. The assault was punching a guy in a bar.”

“Like Roy Nichols,” I said.

“Lots of anger out there. If people only knew who they let into their homes.”

“Do Gull’s prints mean much?” I said. “Given his relationship with Koppel?”

“That’s what he’d say. What his lawyer would say. He hired a B.H. mouthpiece, by the way. Don’t know him, but one of the guys here does. Not high-powered, more like medium-powered.”

“Meaning Gull’s not that scared?”

“He’s scared enough to lawyer up,” he said. “Maybe he doesn’t know better. Or couldn’t afford better. He’s got his baby Benz and his Vette, but he’s not really rich, right? Even with a hefty fee, you guys are limited by the hours you work.”

“Interesting you should bring that up,” I said. I told him what Allison had said about profit motive.

“Kill Koppel and steal her patients… smart girl, Allison… I’d sure like to get into Gull’s finances but can’t see a way to do it yet.”

“How’d it go with Gavin’s room?”

“It didn’t,” he said. “No one home, I’ll try tomorrow.”

“I spoke to Dr. Singh.” I recapped the interview.

“Jerry Quick lied,” he said. “What was the point of that?”

“Good question.”

“It’s time to pay Mom and Dad a closer look. Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to arrange an appointment with Mr. Edward Koppel, but I can’t get past his receptionist.”

“The old tycoon shuffle?” I said.

“Seems to be. I figure the best thing’s to drop in tomorrow morning. Early, say eight-thirty, maybe catch him before his day gets too tycoonish. You up for that?”

“Want me to drive?”

“What do you think?”
