Chances of a call from Joe Blair seemed slim to none but Gin kept hoping the senator himself might intervene. Because throughout her meeting with Blair she'd got the impression that he was deigning to interview her only because his boss wanted it. The waiting was affecting her concentration. She had to resist the urge to call her answering machine every hour. The Guidelines committee started hearings in another week. Time was getting short. True to her promise, though, she wasn't forgetting about looking into Lisa Lathram. The question was how. She had a feeling Oliver had said all he was going to say, and she couldn't very well ask Duncan. Wouldn't the sudden death of the daughter of a prominent local warrant some newspaper coverage? Yes, it would. She called the D. C. Public Library and they connected her with their periodicals section. They were most cooperative but could come up with only one reference to Lisa Lathram.
