Chapter 13: The Ledger

I drove from Fern Hill to Spruce Street with the photograph on the passenger seat.

Suzette was sitting at the kitchen table when I came in, still in last night's sweater, with a cup of coffee she hadn't touched.

Her coat hung on the back of the chair, and her bag stood packed beside it.

She looked at the photograph in my hand, and she knew where I had been.

"He showed you my father," she said.

"He showed me a man with a brass key."

"Then ask me."

I put the photograph on the table between us.

"What did you come here to take?"

She didn't look away.

"My father's second ledger."

The kitchen was very quiet.

"Tell me all of it," I said. "Start with the part you left out last night."

Suzette took the chain off her neck and held the key in her fist.

Then she reached into her bag and set down a small gold pocket watch with a dented case.

"He wound it every morning," she said. "The police gave it back to my mother in a plastic bag."

She fitted the key into a tiny hole in the back and turned it.
