Chapter 72 of 'Fatal Connections'

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO

Based on my paperwork, my theories of the case were solidifying into a truly horrid scenario. Considering the number of usually sealed records she had sent me, Alex must have called in more than a few favors. I wondered if any of the items could be considered evidence.

A cursory look at Alex’s research revealed nothing to suggest that the Harcourts were involved with Embrace the Wild in any way other than simple visits to the petting zoo. But the way things were shaping up, the Harcourts’ connection to Embrace the Wild was a great setup for either a modern sit-com or a Greek tragedy; their murder placed it squarely in the latter category.
