Grace came back to the resort.

She walked into the lobby with her suitcase. Tired.... She'd been up all night dealing with investors.

But she'd handled it. Stopped the takeover. Saved her company.

Now she just wanted to find Aiden and rest.

A bellhop rushed over. "Ms. Hartwell! Let me help you with that bag."

"I'm fine. I can carry it."

"No, no. Please. Let me take it to your room for you."

Grace frowned. "I know where my room is."

"Of course. But we just want to make sure you're comfortable. A

    The property management company had twelve employees and a registered address in the financial district and had been managing Aiden's building for two years.Floyd had a full background check on every member of staff by seven the following morning. Grace read through it at the kitchen table while Aiden made coffee and the building outside the window went about its ordinary early business, people with bags and dogs and takeout cups moving through the street below in the cold grey light.The current building manager was a man named Carl Webb. Forty-one. Previously employed by a hotel chain in Frankfurt and a residential complex in Zurich. Clean record. Excellent references. Both references, when Floyd called them at six in the morning, were answered by people who confirmed his employment in the particular smooth way of people who had been briefed on what to confirm.Floyd had flagged them both as potentially fabricated.The property management company itself traced back through two hold

    Floyd did not react.That was the first thing Grace noticed. She had become expert at reading Floyd's face over the past months and the absence of surprise on it now told her something important. Floyd was not shocked. Floyd had suspected. Or she had known, at least at the level where a good detective knows things before they have the evidence to say them out loud."How long have you been watching him?" Grace asked.Floyd looked at her steadily. "Three weeks. Since the parking structure. Since Mason was never there and Tessa Designs was hit simultaneously." She paused. "The level of operational precision that required — it needed someone who knew the plan in advance. Someone who knew where you would be and when. Torres was the only person outside this room who had both pieces.""You didn't tell me," Grace said."I didn't have enough. Not until now." Floyd looked at the list in Grace's hand. "Sophia's payment record is the confirmation. Everything else was inference."Grace set the pape

    The interview room at the station was small and fluorescent and smelled faintly of the kind of institutional cleaning product that never quite masked what it was covering. Grace had been in enough of these rooms over the past months that she no longer noticed the smell until she was already seated.Sophia was on the other side of the table.She looked different from the woman Grace had known for seven years. Not older exactly — though there was something in her face that had not been there before, a quality of having passed through something and come out knowing things she had not known going in. She was thinner. Her hair was shorter, cut close to her jaw in a way that made her look more angular and less careful than she used to be. She had always been careful with her appearance in the particular way of a woman who understood that appearance was a form of armour.She had clearly stopped thinking about armour.She looked at Grace when she came in and she did not look away and she did

    Floyd found the camera footage within forty minutes.It was not at Mason's lawyers' offices. It was three streets north of them, at the junction of Crane Street and the Aldgate service road — a camera mounted above a cashpoint, angled slightly downward, catching the pavement on both sides of the junction in the grey-green of its night vision.Sophia, at six fourteen in the morning.She was wearing a delivery company jacket two sizes too large and a dark baseball cap pulled low. She had done something to her hair — pinned it flat, or perhaps cut it, Grace could not tell from the footage — and she was moving with the particular economy of someone who has been practising this walk in their head for a long time. Not hurrying. Not hesitating. Just moving.Under her arm: a manila folder, thick with paper.She turned left at the junction and walked out of the camera frame.Floyd pulled the next camera along the route. Then the next. It took twenty minutes to stitch together the full picture

    The hospital footage arrived at Torres's office at nine the following morning.He sent Grace a thirty-second clip without preamble.She watched it twice at the kitchen table with Aiden beside her. The quality was the flat, overexposed grey of internal security systems — functional rather than cinematic. Richard Hartwell's private room. A hospital bed. The pale equipment along the wall. Richard himself, sitting up at the head of the bed with perfect steadiness, no oxygen, no distress monitor attached, talking to Catherine who sat in the chair at his side with her coat still on as if she had not intended to stay long.Richard was gesturing. Not dramatically. The relaxed, illustrative gestures of a man in the middle of a point he was comfortable making.Catherine leaned forward. Said something. Richard paused. Then he said something back and she sat back in her chair and the quality of her stillness shifted into something that looked very much like relief.The clip ended.There was no au

    The call came at six in the morning.Aiden's phone. Grace heard it from the kitchen where she was already up, already dressed, already on her second coffee with the legal pad open in front of her. She heard the ringtone and then she heard Aiden's voice change in the way it changed when something landed on him that he had not been ready for.She put down her pen.He appeared in the kitchen doorway two minutes later. He was still in the clothes he had slept in and his face had that particular quality of someone who had just been handed two things at once and was sorting through which one to deal with first."That was my mother," he said.Grace looked at him."My father collapsed last night. He's at St. Marguerite's. She says it's his heart." He paused. "She says he's asking for me."The kitchen was quiet for a moment.Grace did not answer immediately. She looked at Aiden's face and thought about Richard Hartwell — who had spent decades using his wealth and his name to protect his son fr

    Grace couldn't sleep after the memory hit her. She lay in bed staring at the ceiling. The sun started to rise. She heard Aiden moving around in the living room.She got up and looked out the window. Across the snow, she could see Mason's cabin. The lights were off. His car was gone.He must have le

    Grace stepped closer, her eyes wide with confusion. "What are you two talking about?"Mason turned around quickly. His face looked guilty. Aiden stood there with his arms crossed, saying nothing."Talking?" Mason said with a fake smile. "We weren't talking about anything, honey."Grace tilted her h

    The next morning, Grace woke up in the guest room. Sunlight came through the window. She stretched and sat up slowly. Her head still hurt a little from the accident.She walked out to the living room. Aiden was already awake. He was folding a blanket on the couch."Good morning," he said."Morning.
