Chapter 14: Insider
Veronica read the claim in the elevator the next morning, and she laughed once.
"Insider trading," she said. "He wrote it on Chalfant Capital paper and used the firm's seal."
"Is it any good?"
"It's good enough to freeze your account for a year if a judge signs it."

"Veronica."
"I'm not angry. I like you too much to be your second choice." She smiled with half her mouth. "You went to the terrace and came home looking like a man who left his coat in a fire."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Be good at the next hour."
Preston arrived at ten, with a lawyer in a three-thousand-dollar suit and a small, polite smile.

Dex stood at the end of the table with a banker's box and a laptop.
