Neil had helped gather the intelligence. He was a natural snoop. Diane was sitting at her enormous kidney-shaped desk in the reception area outside Haze’s office. Her short blonde hair was perfectly highlighted and a little spiky, as always, and her makeup was impeccable. Diane was one of those people who could be experiencing a private storm in her life without anyone ever knowing it. I, on the other hand, am not as good at disguising my problems. “Okay, you’re tired and something’s wrong,” she said the moment she saw me. I told her about the package that arrived at the Georgian and its terrible contents. I told her about Mirror Chang’s heartbreaking telephone call to me. I told her about Charlie attacking me in my office, and then it all spilled out of me. How I’d trusted and even cared for him, how violent he’d been, the strange and deceptive life he led, his past, the clippings I’d found. The police interrogation. How Rauser had apparently linked him to three victims now.
