He’d jumped through hoops to get hold of Art Pearson/Carmella Sunday’s accounts this fast, but the news was good. The rumor he’d heard at the club, that Carmella had been into blackmail, looked to be true. The she-male had been depositing ten thousand dollars in cash, split into two accounts, every month for about two years, and he hadn’t been paid that much at any of the venues he’d played before getting the job as Chesney’s understudy. That meant he might have had two suckers in his pocket, each paying five big ones a month, or he had only one, who had broken the money up to keep the IRS off his case. Either way, the info was a boost to their investigation. If he believed the old adage—follow the money—all he had to do was connect the dots. Once Rob Chesney’s bank released his transaction records showing monthly withdrawals for the same, they’d be a step closer to wrapping the case. When they figured out what secret Pearson had held over Chesney’s head that warranted five or ten thousand a month, Chesney’s conviction was a lock.
