Chapter 15: Five Jackets

Beck's POV

The Haverill yacht was tied up in Marina del Rey, white and long, with HALCYON painted across the stern in letters a foot high.

I had last seen that stern from the other side.

I stood on the dock in July sun with my hands in my pockets and made myself look at it for a full minute.

My stomach didn't like it.

"Is that the one?" the captain asked.

She was sixty-three and had spent thirty years on harbor patrol, and she had a closed, weathered face.

Addie had found her through the old assistant, who knew everybody.

I'd paid her a day rate to walk a marina with me and not ask questions.

"That's the one."

"Pretty."

"Yeah," I said.

"What are we looking at?"

"The tender."

It sat on the stern deck, a small white launch with six padded seats and a rope coiled in the bow.

I had last seen that rope around a woman's leg.

I walked up the gangway, because nobody had stopped me, and crouched beside the tender and counted the lifejackets in the open locker.
