mitch and eddie lomax met on a bridge in a park in the freezing rain. they had made sure that they were not followed. Lomax's news was very interesting. All three of the dead lawyers had 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 then 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 a part of the forest where there few animals and the hunters didn't usually go. There were two strange things about Mickel's death: first, the letter to his wife was typed, not handwritten;second,he had never bought a gun in the police thought criminals had used in the past. Where did a respectable lawyer get such a gun?
