Chapter 26 Summary

Kinsey then heads to the accounting office of Haycraft and McNiece to see Garry Steinberg to ask him about embezzlement. She tells Garry that she believes that Charlie Scorsoni has been embezzling from his clients after all they were all dead, and that Libby could have discovered his activities. Once she discovered the discrepancies, she would have asked Charlie for records and documentation to validate the transactions. Kinsey believes that Charlie engineered an affair with Libby Glass in an attempt to keep her quiet, perhaps offering her a cut of the proceeds. Kinsey knows that she must have proof of the embezzlement and asks about the files, which Garry actually has in his office. He promises to look at them and get back to Kinsey that afternoon.

On the way back to Santa Teresa, Kinsey finally goes over the actual course of events...
