‘Elcid Doyle has used this firm all his life, and his father before him. I have only met Estelle once but that was enough.’
‘Enough for what?’
‘To know that she was cut from the same block. That she’s a good person.’
‘She’s more than that,’ Poe said. ‘She’s my friend. And trust me when I say this, I don’t have many.’
‘Yet this firm is now tasked with explaining the seemingly unexplainable. The senior partners met last night to discuss how this matter should be handled.’
‘Let me guess, you don’t want me interfering? You can’t have someone “dangerous” damaging your reputation.’
She put her coffee down with a thump. ‘You misunderstand me, Sergeant Poe,’ she said. ‘Dangerous is the only thing that can save Miss Doyle right now. Tell me what you need.’
