Somebody optimized this city. Nobody can tell you who.
A year later, Dr. Elias Crowe is doing consultancy work and sleeping seven hours a night for the first time in his adult life. He keeps a notebook. He takes his medication. He is, by every measure anyone is applying, well.
Then a man under police surveillance shakes a two-vehicle tail in four seconds - twenty-two minutes after receiving a message from a number that goes dark the same night.
Then a traffic controller accepts a command that came from nowhere, and eight seconds of silence buys somebody three minutes.
Eli starts pulling the thread on paper, in county clerks' offices, in cash, because whoever is doing this can see a name the moment it's typed into a municipal server.
What he finds is not a killer.
It is a holding company. Three shell firms. A charitable foundation. Thirty-one years of filings submitted on time, every year, entirely legally.
And an incorporation date eleven months after his mother was murdered.
The final book in the Crowes Trilogy. Read A Murder of Crowes and As the Crowe Flies first.
DEFINITIVE EDITION. Substantially revised, with a new epilogue that carries Eli Crowe into the world of the Blackthorne novels.
Note: the audiobook was produced from the original edition. New recordings are planned.
