Chapter 16: Chapter 16

The forensic accountant had spread the ledger across the long table in the Halo Row conference room, page by page.

She was a thin woman in a gray suit, and on Thursday morning she had not slept.

"Mr. Ransom," she said. "I need you to confirm every signature."

"All of them?" Devon asked.

"All of them. Out loud."

He pulled the first page toward him.

I had watched him sign things for three years without looking up, in cars and on couches and once in a dentist's chair.

This time he put both hands flat on the paper, and read it from the top.

"Venue deposit, Anaheim," he said. "Four hundred thousand dollars, paid by the promoter on March ninth."

"Where did it go?" Maxine asked.

"Into an account at a bank I don't use."

"Whose name is on the account?"

The accountant turned a page and tapped a line.
