Chapter 17: The Buyer
At six on a Sunday morning, the lobby of the Heart Institute held a security guard and a woman in a black coat.
She stood in the exact center of the floor.
Her hair was iron gray and her hands were clasped around a large manila envelope.
Behind her, with his hat in both hands, stood the man from Port Richmond.
I knew the way he held it.
I had watched him hold a hat like that in my shop in March, not wanting to go home.
"Miss Everhart," said the trial director, coming out of the elevator.
"I thought you should hear this with me present."
"Hear what?"
The woman in the black coat turned.
She looked like a woman who cried every Sunday in the back pew.
"You're the florist," she said. "You did my brother's wife."
"Yes."
"I'm the one who bought it."
Her voice was low and flat, and every word carried across the marble.
"In August a boy came to my door," she said.
"He said a man named Carraro could move my daughter up for forty thousand dollars."
