Liz came to get Avery at the end of the day. She wore black wool trousers and a bulky sweater, also black, with a cardinal red quilted vest. I was wearing paint-speckled jeans and an equally paint-spattered plaid flannel shirt with a hole in the left elbow. I sometimes had the feeling that Liz could step outside in the middle of a blizzard and the snow would somehow fall around her and not on her.

I held my arms out to my sides and leaned in to kiss her cheek.

“What’s that for?” she said.

“For being you. For hiring Jane.”

“She said you were trying to find Vincent’s driver.”

I nodded. “Thanks to Jane, we’ve already talked to him.”

“I talked to Channing,” Liz said, pulling off her gloves. “He says the settlement with Vincent and Jacob Pena was in the realm of more than half a million dollars each.”

“That’s half a million reasons for someone to want Vincent dead,” I said, hoping that neither Brent LeBlanc nor Earle Weyman was that someone.

“Channing also mentioned that rumor has it—and he emphasized it was just a rumor—Vincent was going to cut his son out of his will.”

“Was going to cut him out or had cut him out?”

Liz tapped a temple with one finger. “Great minds think alike,” she said. “I asked the same question; Channing said he’d heard was going to—in other words, Vincent might have been giving his son one last chance to come back to North Harbor and work with him.”

“I wonder if William took it,” I said.

Liz raised one perfectly arched eyebrow. “That’s the million-dollar question.”
