“No, no, no. I’ve got them in bubble wrap and put them in the lost and found since it’s the only cage that locks. We really should get an official evidence room.”

“Become a real big-city police department.”

Decker smiled. “Let’s see if the fragments match to the forgeries. We’ll need a big-city lab with equipment for something this sophisticated. Boston will probably do it since her murder is most likely connected to Latham’s murder.”

“That was Boston territory?”

“No, it’s Summer Village territory, but they use Boston if they need something specific.”

“Tell me about Latham.” After Decker did a brief recap, Radar said, “That’s one vicious murder.”

“It was bad. I’d like to go back to his apartment when I have time and riffle through it myself. The Summer Village detectives seem like good guys and eager to share. But Latham isn’t my case. I’d also like to return to New York and reinterview the extended Sobel family.”

“Why?”

“Because I think that’s how Angeline Moreau found out about the Tiffany windows.”

“Someone in the family was behind the theft?”

“Or talked to her too freely. There were people I didn’t interview because I came back to investigate Moreau’s murder.”

“Yeah, about that. How do you feel about handling the murder investigation? Are you comfortable with it?”

“I’m okay for right now.”

“So then it’s yours. If it becomes too much or too complicated—and it might be with Latham’s murder—let me know.”

“I’ll keep you posted.”

“How’s the kid?”

“McAdams? Surprisingly motivated. I told him to go home and get some rest, but he insisted on doing additional research. I’d like to take him with me to New York.”

“Why?”

“It’s his home turf. He has connections there.”

“Does he ever.”

“You want to fill me in with that.”

“His father, Jack McAdams, is in international banking; his mother, Alberta, is currently married to someone else in international banking. But it’s the grandfather with the real money. He did the backing for a lot of the high-tech companies when the field was in its infancy. He passed about six years ago and Tyler’s father amassed most of the fortune. Jack went to Duxbury as an undergrad.”

“Not Harvard?”

“Harvard Law School. Jack is not only a major benefactor of Duxbury, he sits on the board. He also built the new rec center for the town. Actually, it’s about four years old but we still call it the new rec center. He is also instrumental in building the new stage theater and revamping the swimming center. It has endeared him to the mayor.”

“Got it.”
