"Why all the footprints?" Spiro wondered aloud.

Rossi: "Some possible tenants looking at the rental, I would assume. And the victims. The Composer kept them there until he was ready to make his video. They might have walked to and from the car--even if they can't remember it now."

Beatrice said, "It is so extremely curious, no fingerprints. None at all, excepting for the victims'. It is as if, as you say, Captain Rhyme, he wears the gloves in his sleep."

Spiro scowled. "He makes it difficult at every turn."
