Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Hank had rented a screening room in a Burbank studio complex and filled it with press.

At seven o'clock on Wednesday night, forty people sat in folding chairs with their phones up.

A livestream light blinked on a tripod at the back.

A banner hung behind the little stage.

It said, "THE ECHO FRAUD: WHAT THE LABEL DOESN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR."

Hank stood in front of it in a navy suit, with a laptop on a stool beside him and a remote in his hand.

His voice was as soft as ever, and he knew exactly how far it carried.

"Thank you for coming," he said. "Tonight you'll hear what Halo Row has hidden from the public."

"These are the unreleased masters of Devon Ransom's tour album. They were recorded by a woman who stole credit, and tonight she loses it."

Devon and I stood in the open doorway at the back.

Beside us stood the detective from Monday, with two uniformed officers, one of them carrying a folder.

"Let him say it first," the detective whispered. "The warrant covers the theft. I'd like the room to hear it."
