Amanda Santos’s message to Tracy said to call her. Tracy decided it would be better to see her in person and walked to the FBI’s office.

“I watched the press conference,” Santos said, entering the reception area. “I assume that’s why you called, to let me know you had identified the killer.”

“Actually, I have a question for you.”

“Okay. Come on back.”

They went to the same conference room as before. Neither sat. “In your research, how likely is it a serial killer will commit suicide rather than face a criminal trial?” Tracy asked.

Santos smiled as if she had anticipated the question. “A study was done on that very question about a dozen years ago. The percentage is low.”

“How low?”

“Don’t quote me on it, but less than ten percent. Closer to five percent.”

“It’s unlikely.”

“According to the study. But suicide is not unheard of. When a serial killer finds himself in an environment that will not allow him to seek the kind of pleasure he craves—”

“Like police custody?”

“Like police custody. And he’s facing a life sentence without parole, or the death penalty, it is not unthinkable he would take his own life. The few I’m aware of who committed suicide did so after conviction and while in custody. Most hung themselves.”

Tracy thanked Santos for indulging her and left the building feeling a bit more at ease. She resolved not to let the matter interfere with her weekend and her time with Dan and Daniella.

She was good at making resolutions.

She wasn’t always good at carrying them through.
