CHAPTER 23

Every morning, Amanda performed a routine of rigorous calisthenics, a remnant of her days as a competitive swimmer. The morning after her father briefed her on the Pope case, she was in the middle of a set of pushups when her phone rang. She powered through three more and grabbed the receiver on the fourth ring.

“Thanks for waiting until six-thirty to call,” she said as soon as Martha Brice identified herself.

“I assumed you were an early riser,” Brice answered, oblivious to Amanda’s sarcasm.

“Mr. Marsh is in town,” Brice continued.

“Good. I want to meet with him as soon as possible.”

“The corporate jet will be in Portland tomorrow morning. Jennifer will call your office with the time.”

“Okay. Please keep him incommunicado until I tell you otherwise. No press conferences, no leaks. I’ll try to talk the district attorney into letting Mr. Marsh surrender at the bail hearing. But I know Karl Burdett pretty well. If he learns Marsh is in New York, he’ll do an end run and have the police arrest him.”
