Will Graham sat Crawford down at a picnic table between the house and
the ocean and gave him a glass of iced tea.
Jack Crawford looked at the pleasant old house, saltsilvered wood in the
clear light. “I should have caught you in Marathon when you got off work,”
he said. “You don’t want to talk about it here.”
“I don’t want to talk about it anywhere, Jack. You’ve got to talk about it,
so let’s have it. Just don’t get out any pictures. If you brought pictures, leave
them in the briefcase -Molly and Willy will be back soon.”
“How much do you know?”

“What was in the Miami Herald and the Times,” Graham said. “Two
families killed in their houses a month apart. Birmingham and Atlanta. The
circumstances were similar.”
“Not similar. The same.”
“How many confessions so far?”
“Eightysix when I called in this afternoon,” Crawford said. “Cranks.
None of them knew details. He smashes the mirrors and uses the pieces.
None of them knew that.”
“What else did you keep out of the papers?”
“He’s blond, righthanded and really strong, wears a sizeeleven shoe. He
can tie a bowline. The prints are all smooth gloves.”
“You said that in public.”
“He’s not too comfortable with locks,” Crawford said. “Used a glass
cutter and a suction cup to get in the house last time. Oh, and his blood’s AB
positive.”
“Somebody hurt him?”
“Not that we know of. We typed him from semen and saliva. He’s a
secretor.” Crawford looked out at the flat sea. “Will, I want to ask you
something. You saw this in the papers. The second one was all over the TV.
Did you ever think about giving me a call?”
“Why not?”
“There weren’t many details at first on the one in Birmingham. It could
have been anything – revenge, a relative.”
“But after the second one, you knew what it was.”
“Yeah. A psychopath. I didn’t call you because I didn’t want to. I know
who you have already to work on this. You’ve got the best lab. You’d have
Heimlich at Harvard, Bloom at the University of Chi?cago-”
“And I’ve got you down here fixing fucking boat motors.”
“I don’t think I’d be all that useful to you, Jack. I never think about it
anymore.”
“Really? You caught two. The last two we had, you caught.”
“How? By doing the same things you and the rest of them are doing.”
“That’s not entirely true, Will. It’s the way you think.”
“I think there’s been a lot of bullshit about the way I think.”
“You made some jumps you never explained.”
“The evidence was there,” Graham said.
“Sure. Sure there was. Plenty of it – afterward. Before the collar there was
so damn little we couldn’t get probable cause to go in.”
“You have the people you need, Jack. I don’t think I’d be an im?
provement. I came down here to get away from that.”
“I know it. You got hurt last time. Now you look all right.”
