“I don’t care who it was. It won’t happen again.”

“But you’re not concerned about being … disrespected.”

“I’m sure you know better than that.” I smile at Officer Hawks. He doesn’t

smile back.

“Where were you the night of November second?” he abruptly asks.

“I have no idea. Do you remember where you were on random evenings

weeks past?”

“Do you keep a calendar?”

“No.”

“Does your secretary?”

“No.”

This is true. I don’t allow Janice to keep any record of my appointments.

Sonia memorizes my schedule—but she certainly wouldn’t recite it for

Hawks.

“Do you know a woman named Maddie Walker?”

“No.”

Hawks takes a photograph out of the inside breast pocket of his sport coat. He

slides it across the table toward me.

I look at the picture without touching it. It shows a dark-haired girl laying on

a steel table, eyes closed, clearly dead. Her skin bluish-gray, mottled with

bruises around the jaw. Shaw was rough when he wrenched her mouth open

and stuffed a snake in it.

I recognize her from the top floor of the tenements, where Shaw had her

strung up in his spiderweb.

I want to rip his fucking throat out, remembering how he lured me up there

and trapped me, calling in a fleet of cops to catch me with the body.
