'You heard about Eddie?' she asked.
'Yes.'
'When did you last meet him?'
'A couple of weeks before Christmas.'
'I thought so. He didn't keep any file about the work he was doing
for you.' There was a pause. 'Eddie and I were ... we were lovers. My
marriage isn't so great, and my husband has other women friends.
Anyway, Eddie told me a little about you and he said that lawyers
from your firm kept dying.'
So much for secrecy, Mitch thought.
'Anyway, just before Christmas he told me he thought he was
being followed and that he thought it was connected to the work he
was doing for you. Eddie was good at his job. It wouldn't be easy to
follow him. They were professionals, whoever they were — as
professional as the killer. I'm frightened, Mitch. Can I call you
Mitch?'
