In the past, when Dani was on trial or arguing an appeal, she had a junior associate with her. Now, she was alone. She left the courthouse and wandered down the streets looking for a place to grab a bite. She hated eating by herself, but she had no choice. On the second block, she spotted an inviting café and went inside. A table for two by the window was empty, and she grabbed it, then pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her e-mails and texts. There were two texts from Tommy, both asking her to call him as soon as she could. She was about to dial his number when the waitress came over with a menu. Dani thanked her, then called Tommy.

“What’s up?” she asked when he answered.

“I have a lead on Tony Falcone.”

Dani brightened. “Where is he?”

“North Carolina. And listen, if I have the right guy, he just got out of jail three years ago for raping a young woman.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yep. He was convicted eighteen years ago and sentenced to fifteen to twenty.”

“How come no one was able to find him before this?”

“Because he went by different names. His real name is Axel Bonetti, but he’s gone by three or four different names. Maybe more, but that’s all I’ve found.”

“How did you track him down?”

There was a hesitation on the phone before Tommy answered, “Don’t ask how. I just did.”

Dani knew she’d never change Tommy. Despite his years with the FBI—or maybe because of that—he was a risk-taker, doing whatever it took to get what he needed, even if the methods were sometimes questionable. She’d tried to pull him back over and over, to no avail. Still, perhaps she was complicit, since she never hesitated to use the information he gave her.

“Are you heading out there?”

“Yeah. This afternoon. I hope to see him tonight.”

After she hung up, she tried to tamp down the excitement bubbling up in her. Tony Falcone—or Axel Bonetti, or whatever he was called—had been a person of interest from back when the crime occurred. To learn that he’d been imprisoned since then—and for a violent crime—intensified that interest. Dani wanted to believe that Tommy would find something incriminating, something that would point to him as the man who’d climbed up a ladder on a moonlit night and taken Kelly Braden from the bedroom. But she knew from years of searching for clues that it wouldn’t be easy to prove. And, if she didn’t win this hearing, she might never get the opportunity to try.
