  103. Excerpt from Field of Graves by J.T. Ellison

“Sir, I appreciate that I’m new to the investigative field, but I have to say, something feels very strange about all of this. Mr. Montclair either has a split personality or he doesn’t know all of this is on his computer. He’d never give us the goods to arrest him. He’s too smart for that.”

“You don’t think he did it? We have a preponderance of evidence the man is playing a serious long con game, first with his wife, and now with us. His friends are abandoning ship. The second we name him as a suspect, they will all come forward with stories. Trust me. I’ve seen this before,” Moreno said.

“I know you have, and trust me, I appreciate your experience here. But...why bring us in? To what end? If he wanted to get rid of his wife, why didn’t he just kill her and dump her somewhere far away, and not call us in?”

“Pretty boy wants to play,” Jim said.

“Come on. I don’t buy it. I don’t disagree that everything is pointing to a purposeful murder, and all of this looks really bad for him. But there’s something bizarre about it all. For example, the video of Sutton Montclair at the reviewer’s house. Both Ellen Jones and Mr. Montclair agree that it isn’t Sutton.”

“How hard is it to hire an actress to go do something stupid for you?” Jim said.

“Let me guess,” Holly quipped. “There’s a receipt for a hired actress for the date in question?” She looked at Moreno. “Sir. Something’s weird here. This is so pat, so convenient. I don’t buy it.”

“Hey, Golightly, there’s nothing convenient about this. I said I’d use small words, Graham, but trust me, this wasn’t an easy hack. Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing, exactly where to hide the files.”

“Why keep evidence that can be used against you? Montclair is a writer. I’ve talked to him at length, researched everything I can find about him online. I won’t go so far as to say I know how he thinks, but it’s clear from our conversations that he thinks through every permutation. I can’t buy the idea that he’d be so dumb as to leave a trail of bread crumbs to his own door.”
