Chapter 8 — Three Versions of the Same Man

I’d found the account because of a hotel key card left on the conference table. It belonged to the Lakeshore Grand, where Ethan and Lauren had stayed three times in the last two months.

Lauren believed he paid for the rooms through a private business account. He didn’t — the charges came from a Mercer shell company routed through an offshore payment service.

And the hotel’s loyalty record listed a second guest on one reservation. It wasn’t Lauren. Her name was Natalie Cross.

Martin had traced Natalie to a financial consulting firm in Indianapolis. She’d helped set up two of Ethan’s companies. She had also booked a flight to Costa Rica for the following afternoon.

Ethan had bought a ticket on the same flight. Lauren had no ticket. She had never been part of his escape plan.
