His name is Julian Vance.

The paper nearly slipped out of my numb fingers.

Julian Vance.

I knew that name.

Everyone in the city knew that name.

Julian Vance was the chief executive of Vance Capital, a billionaire real estate developer, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the entire region.

His face looked down from billboards all over the city.

His charitable foundation put its name on hospital wings and museum galleries and the gleaming new sports complex downtown.
