The Client's Confession

Words: 3018 · Source Novel:: Love's Executioner

Back in the present, Evelyn Tyer, the plaintiff, hires a tenacious young attorney, Peter Crawford, to depose Craig. During a heated deposition, Tyer breaks down and confesses that she closed her account because she discovered her husband—a man Craig had once privately investigated—was having an affair. She inadvertently reveals details that match the MO of the Oathkeeper killings. Meanwhile, Craig receives an anonymous letter in the mail: a photocopy of that original 2004 "Lena" love letter, with a note: "I remember everything." Craig realizes someone from that old circle is still alive and is taunting him. His calm arbitration facade crumbles as he begins to suspect that the lawsuit is not about money, but a trap designed to expose him.
