Chapter Eight

Robert, the Present

I take the call in my office, my adrenaline still pumping from the scene I just created for Miranda, and cursing the interruption, because I was finally about to interrogate her about exactly why she hid the truth from me.

But the moment I hear the voice on the phone, I’m eminently glad that I took the call: Angel.

Then again, Murray is dead.

Georgiana is in the hospital.

So what the hell does Angel want now?

Money, of course, the greedy little bitch wants money. Lots of it. For twenty-three tapes she found in the safe when she went back to Le Château.

“What kinds of tapes, Angel? And why ask me if I want to have them?” I say.

“Because each one of them has her name on them. Miranda Stone,” she says.

“Is that all they say, Angel?”

“Each one has a number, and the words ‘Interview with Georgiana Hartwell.’ ”

“Anything else?”

“Yes, and I’ll tell you, but first give me some idea of how much you gonna give me for them? A thousand each?”

I was about to offer her more, far, far more, but she’s a blackmailer, so I won’t encourage her by upping the ante.

“You’ve got a deal, Angel, and I’ll give you the money when you bring them to me. But first tell me what else is written on each tape.”

“Well, in that case . . .”

I hold my breath.

“Dates, each of them has a date on it.”

“Go get the tape marked one, Angel, tell me the date on it, and then, once you’ve brought me the tapes, you’ll get your twenty-­three thousand.”

Five minutes later, Angel comes back to the phone again, tells me the date written on the first tape, and at that moment the world well and truly ends for me.

Three weeks ago. Miranda first interviewed Georgiana three weeks ago. On the second day she was imprisoned in the mausoleum.

The day before her rescue.

Before Serendipity.

Before Le Salon des Fragrances.

Before Honolulu.

Before I met her parents.

Before all of that, Miranda knew that Georgiana was still alive.

I buzz security.

“Please escort Miss Stone back to the limousine and tell the driver to take her to Hoboken at once.”
