He might want to eliminate all those who give a damn about our parents. He could be operating under the assumption that if no one is monitoring the case, it will grow cold again.”

      “Or it could be someone hoping to use the past murders as a cover.”

      Ash stopped pacing. “I’d thought of that, which is part of the reason I’m here today. I’m compiling a list of all those who hate the Kendalls and want us dead.”

      “That might take a while.” Devin’s lips twisted. “Anytime you own a big corporation, you’re going to piss someone off.”

      “Start with disgruntled ex-employees. Work the inside first and anyone you might have fired in the past year. The reopening of the murder investigation gives someone an opportunity to hide behind an existing killer.”

      “I’ll get Jolie on it.” Devin reached for the intercom button on his phone.
