"We autopsied the old couple from the second row last night. We didn't find anything new that would help you ID them. But Tino did some sketches. My assistant said he didn't leave the morgue until after midnight."

Vito felt a sharp spear of gratitude for his brother who'd jumped in with both feet to help. When this was all over he'd find a way to thank him. "Yes, and we'll compare his sketches to missing-persons files." From his folder Vito pulled copies of the sketches he'd found on his desk that

morning. He passed them to Liz. "This is what Tino came up with. He made a few of the woman with different hairstyles. It's hard to picture what she might have looked like without seeing some hair."

"Me next," Jen said. "We got two new pieces of news last night. First, an ID on the tire tread print we took from the scene that first day. Our boy drives a Ford F150, just like yours, Vito."

Terrific," Vito muttered. "So nice to have something in common with a psycho killer. Let's get the description out there. It's a long shot, but at least we can be keeping our eyes open. Did you get any footprints with that tire tread?"

"None that were usable. Sorry. Now the second thing is the grenade we took out of the gut of the last victim on the first row. It's a vintage MK2 pineapple grenade, made sometime before 1945. Tracing it would be nearly impossible, but it's one more piece of the puzzle. This guy uses the real thing."

"And speaking of the real thing." Vito told them about Sophie's inquiries the day before. "So we have one possible source for his medieval weapons. I was going to call Interpol before I checked out Claire Reynolds's doctor and the library where she worked. And I still need to locate Bill Melville's parents. They don't know he's dead."

"Give me Interpol," Liz said. "You take the doctor and the parents."

Thanks." Vito looked over at Bev and Tim. "You guys are quiet."

"We're tired," Tim said. "We were up most of the night going through records with the owners of UCanModel. Then the attorneys got involved."

"Shit," Vito murmured.

'Yeah." Tim scraped his palms down his unshaven cheeks. "The owners want to cooperate, but their attorneys are telling them they have a privacy notice for all subscribers. So it's slow going. We broke at three a.m. and went home to sleep."

The owner has to contact all the models who were sent e-mails before we can talk to them." Bev sighed. "We're supposed to get on a call with them in an hour."

Vito hadn't gotten to sleep until three a.m. himself, but the reason was very different and he was pretty sure he'd get no sympathy. "Katherine, what will you do next?"

"Autopsies on the final four. You have a preference on where I start? Old, young, bullet, or grenade?"

"Start with Claire Reynolds. I'll get with you as soon as I talk to her doctor.
