A few days later, in Memphis, the photographs were studied by DeVasher on the desk in front of him. They were of a very high quality. The long-distance night-sight camera had worked well. And the girl was excellent. He would use her again. ‘Mitchell McDeere’, he said to himself with a smile, ‘Now you are ours. Now you’ll do anything for us’.
Two weeks before Christmas Mitch and Eddie Lomax met in the park in the freezing rain. Lomax news was very interesting. All three of the dead lawyers died in mysterious circumstances. The lorry which killed Alice Knauss had been stolen in St. Louis three days earlier. The driver drove straight into her car and than ran away. He was never found. The hunter, Robert Lamm, was almost certainly murdered. It didn’t look like a hunting accident, because his body was found in the forest where a few animals were. There was a strange thing about Mickel’s death. He had never bought a gun, which killed him, how he had written in his letter.
‘ Your firm has lost five lawyers in fifteen years, and it seems you are acting as if you are going to be the next. I am ready to help Rays brother but you‘re swimming in dangerous waters.
A day or two after Christmas, Eddie Lomax was called. The man told he should meet him to take photos. They drove to the hotel together and waited in the car. The door was silently opened and three bullets were put into the Lomax’s head. The killer and the man left together.
Mitch found the bar where Tammy had asked him to meet her. He looked again at the letter where she asked to meet with Mitch and to talk about Eddie.
Tammy arrived soon after he had ordered a beer.
‘What’s the matter?’
‘We need to talk but not here. Let’s take my car.’
In the car she started. ‘Before Christmas he told me he was followed and he said it was connected with your task. He was good at his job. It was not easy to follow him, but he was killed. I am frightened. Can I call you Mitch?’ ‘Of course, but we need to be in touch, Tammy. But call me. Write me once a week. What’s your mother’s name?’
‘Doris’ ‘Fine. Sign your letters Doris.’
