“And plan how we can do that,” Jane said. “It won’t be easy.” She suddenly stiffened. “Though it may not be that hard.” Her eyes were suddenly glittering with excitement. “Not if we continue what we’ve started and follow what we’ve been doing with Fiona and MacClaren. You were right when you told me it was Fiona’s story, Caleb. But it was also MacClaren’s and maybe we haven’t paid as much attention as we should have to his parts of it.” She was reaching for her phone. “But that can be remedied.” She punched in Rodland’s number and hit SPEAKER. “The Judas might even be able to use it when he’s trying to con Bohdan.” Rodland answered and she said, “I need to know more about MacClaren, Rodland. And I have to know both facts and hearsay as soon as possible.”

“You might not have heard, but Caleb has given me a new assignment,” he said caustically. “Talk to him.”

“I will. He’s here now. But he agrees with me that you should split up your duties.” She added, “And this might be even more important. When you were doing the research on MacClaren, you were doing it from Fiona’s point of view up to the very end when she received the letter. But we need to know everything that he was doing from the moment he came back into Fiona’s life after she told him she was being forced into that marriage with Alastair Graeme. Particularly his relationship with that railroad magnate who hired him to do the mural.”

“From his point of view? You don’t want much, Jane.”

“I want everything. And I know you can give it to me.”

“After a couple hundred years? Why not?” He paused. “Caleb’s there with you?”

“Do you want to talk to him?”

“No, he’d enjoy it too much.” He sighed. “I’ll get on it right away. Is there anything else?”

“Actually, yes. We were discussing lures to attract Bohdan, and the Cira treasures came up. Do you remember that chapter in the MacDuff historical record that featured those bizarre stories about all the myths and scams concerning the Cira treasure hunts? You laughed about some of them.”

“How could I help it? Talk about cons.”

“But it might be something to build on. Which one did you think had the most substance?”

He thought about it. “The Johnston Drakeman scam had the most research behind it. Some of the details were amazing.”

“That’s what I thought, too.”

“Cira?” Caleb asked. “Am I missing something?”
