All the Deadly Lies. Marian Lanouette
I’ll pack the sunscreen for you. What have you got?”
“What I got is a liar.”
“Florida got good information for us?”
“Yep. The new, younger wife doesn’t have an alibi for the weekend. The ex-husband does. He needs to work two jobs to support the new and improved model.”
“The poor fellow, my heart bleeds,” Louie snorted. “Where was the current wife?”
“Lola said she spent the weekend in Miami with her girlfriend. Girlfriend gets all nervous when it’s explained to her that she could go to jail if she lies—she recants. She hasn’t seen the current wife since her wedding last year.”
“‘Oh, what a tangled web we weave…when first we practice to deceive.’ I love that quote by Walter Scott in ‘Marmion,’” Louie said.
“You have a quote for everything.”
“Hey, we can’t go down south until after Marisa’s party. She’d kill us. I’m already taking enough grief from her over the party we won’t let her go to.”
“Don’t worry. If we have to go, it wouldn’t be right away. We have other leads to pursue first.”
“Good, ’cause I’d hate to miss how you’re going to handle her friend Gigi who has, and I quote Marisa,” Louie brought his hands together and fluttered his lashes. “‘She has the world’s biggest crush on Uncle Jake.’”
“I owe you one for this.”
As promised, he walked into the conference room at three and updated Shamus, Burke, and Kraus on the evidence in Eva’s case. He held back his personal feelings as McGuire had asked. Though it wasn’t said, his men understood he’d be working the case too. While he was in the meeting Louie ran the airlines to see if Chelsea’s ex-husband or his new wife were in town on the weekend of April sixteenth. After updating Burke and Kraus, Jake left the meeting and turned his attention back to the Adams case.
