Chapter 12

We left the library and went to Kyle’s house to drop the book off. We still had a few hours before we needed to get back to the resort, so we decided to order pizza and have our first date. Sure, it was a lunch date and we were working, but I found the need to get a first date of any variety out of the way, and if referring to what we were doing as a date would accomplish that, I was all for it.

“Where do you want to start?” Kyle asked as we nibbled pizza and sipped the microbrew he had on hand.

“I’ve pretty much narrowed my list down to three suspects, not that there couldn’t be others.”

“What do you have?”

I set my slice back onto my plate and picked up my notepad. “Striker Bristow, Sam Wilson, and whoever killed Jennifer Reinhold if her husband turns out not to be guilty. In my mind, Striker Bristow is probably our best suspect, but for the purpose of this conversation I’m going to suggest we start with the Jennifer Reinhold case and circle back to Bristow.”

Kyle picked up the large envelope that contained the files and other papers from the judge’s safe. “I have everything on Reinhold Roy sent me, but it isn’t the complete file. What we really need is the original sheriff’s file. What we’re talking about is trying to prove or disprove that Steven Reinhold killed his wife. If he did, I don’t see how Harper’s decision to take a second look at the case could have led to his death, but if he didn’t, someone else did, and that person, it would seem, would have a vested interest in making sure Steven was never proven innocent.”

“Let’s look at what we have after we finish eating. If we need more—and I suspect we will—I’ll call Roy to see what I can work out. He wants us to keep a low profile, but he also wants Judge Harper’s killer found. Roy knew the judge most of his life. Kate might be a by-the-book sort of person, but for Roy it’s personal.”

“If I remember correctly, Reinhold’s wife was found dead in a shallow grave behind her house almost eight years ago. It’s possible that if Steven didn’t kill her whoever did has long since moved on.”

“Do you remember where the couple lived?”

“Just a couple of streets over from Judge Harper,” Kyle answered. “In fact, I believe the main reason Clarissa Halloran, the woman who’s trying to clear Steven now, went to Harper with her theories in the first place was because they met at some sort of neighborhood block party.”

I sat back in order to give Kyle my full attention. “Okay, walk me through what you remember.”

“Hang on. Let me get the file so I can refer to it.”

I checked the messages on my phone while Kyle went for the file. There was one from Jenna, letting me know she and Dennis were talking about the Fourth of
