Dinah put her head down on the kitchen table and banged it several times, but no happy solution fell out. Her instinct told her that Hank didn’t kill Raif, but Hank was an odd duck with an obsession about stopping the wedding and no alibi for the time of the murder. The question of when the Beretta had been taken was problematic. Langford could clear that hurdle without breaking a sweat. Hank had been in Honolulu for several days before Claude Ann noticed it was missing. The cops would assume he had gained admittance to her suite on more than one occasion. They would assume he’d mistaken Raif for Xander, or even that he had intended to pick off the members of the Garst party one at a time. She also knew in her heart that Claude Ann didn’t kill Raif, but the murder weapon belonged to her and she had no alibi, either. And Xander, who admittedly despised Raif, had lied about his whereabouts at the time of the murder. At least he had omitted one of the stops he made.
