Chapters 13-18 Summary

Myron drives to Cherry Hill to visit Deanna Yeller, the mother of Curtis Yeller. Bolitar finds an attractive woman who slips into inner city slang when he questions her about her son.

The two men wonder if Yeller's mother and Simpson's mother might be getting paid off, and by whom.

Myron confronts Duane about the phone calls he received...
