He realized that he didn’t know a lot more than he did. He knew that Jeff Tyler had been Lynn’s late appointment. He knew that her purse had been found in the trash behind Tyler’s antique store, so there was a nice connection. Except that Rhodes found it hard to believe Tyler would be so stupid as to steal the purse and put it out where anybody could see it. Maybe Tyler had known Frankie and his friends and their visits to the alleys. If so, he might have put the purse out there so they’d take it. Although what was Tyler doing with it in the first place? Rhodes wondered how much Lonnie knew about the purse and about Tyler’s late appointment. Rhodes was sure Lonnie hadn’t told him everything, but he wasn’t sure what he hadn’t been told. Even if Lonnie knew about the appointment, that didn’t explain who’d killed Tyler. That murder was different from Lynn’s, which appeared to have been a spur-of-the-moment thing. Whoever had killed Tyler had planned it, at least to some extent.
