Chapter Twenty-Seven

“What are you doing?” Maggie walked into the living room to find Trace adjusting his big-screen TV.

“Getting ready to look at some of your photographs. The ones you stored in Photodrive.”

“All my pictures are stored there.”

“I’m just interested in the ones you showed at the gallery. The fire was set after the opening—before you had time to get the sold ones reprinted. I’m thinking someone who was there that night might have seen something in one of your pictures that he didn’t like.”

Trace had suggested the theory before. It seemed improbable. But the world was an improbable place and she had come to trust Trace’s judgment. “I suppose it could happen.”

“Since the gallery wasn’t torched, we have to assume if there is something in one of the photos, it’s in one of those purchased that night.”

Going with the theory, she started nodding. “If someone had something to hide, he would have bought the picture to get it out of sight. He would have needed to destroy the picture and the memory card and—”

“And hire someone to burn down your studio. That way the photograph couldn’t turn up again.”

“It makes sense—if I actually did take some kind of incriminating picture.”

“We need to know which pieces were purchased and who bought them.”

“The information’s on your laptop.” The one he had loaned her after the fire. “I had Faye email it to me again. I’ll print us a copy.” She smiled. “You’ll be happy to know I’m almost finished with my client list. I need to integrate the stuff Faye sent, but once it’s done, the list will be complete.”

“That’s great. The more information we have, the more likely we are to figure out what the hell is going on.” He tipped his head toward the kitchen table, where his laptop sat open. “I want you to go online and download your latest photos onto a card. We’ll bring the pictures up in high-def on the TV screen. That’ll make them big enough for us to see in close detail.”

“Great idea.” Maggie walked over to the table and sat down. Trace had already plugged a photo card into the machine, so she was ready to go. Using his wireless connection, she accessed the internet, went to www.photodrive.com, put in her username and password and brought up her account.

The photos were listed by collection, her latest effort entitled simply The Sea. It was the same name she was using for her coffee-table book—if she ever got it finished.

She downloaded the photos, which took a bit of time. While she was waiting, she sent the file Faye had emailed of the buyers’ names and the pictures purchased at the opening off to Trace’s printer, which was down the hall in his office.

They were working a two-pronged approach, searching for her stalker, but also examining the possibility that the fire was set for an entirely different reason.

Maggie looked at the screen, saw the download of the photos was complete. Trace took the photo card out of the computer and she jumped up and headed down the hall.
