Part Ten: Who Burned in the Car

The reconstruction took eleven days and it was assembled out of very boring documents, which is how these things are always assembled.

Mark Sterling had driven for a corporate car service for nine years.

Harrison’s firm was one of its accounts.

For roughly two years, Mark had been the driver most often assigned to Adriana Vance.

The affair started in the second of those years.

Desmond found it in toll transponder records, which nobody thinks about, and in a hotel loyalty account in Mark’s name that had eleven stays at a property nine miles from the Vance house.
