"He cut himself cleaning it," she said.
"That's the line."
"It was under a tarp for nine years. In a boathouse he never set foot in."
"I know," the clinic lawyer said. "And a jury might know it too. Or a jury might think a rich boy cut his hand on a cleat one summer. That's all his lawyer needs. Doubt."
"So what do we need?"
"The cut. On his face. That night. Before anyone says the word dock."
Lukas had come up the ladder behind her.

"We got the sheriff's full file last week," the lawyer said. "Everything from the scene. There's a disc of photos nobody's opened in nine years. Your old lawyer never even asked for it. I'll overnight you a copy."
"Send it tonight."
"It's ten-thirty."
"Then you're still up."
The disc came on Friday.
Greta put it in the old laptop in the yard office and found eleven hundred photographs.
Most of them were of the skiff.
