  1. "What evidence?" I asked.
  2. "Other than finding him standing over LaFortier's corpse with a literal bloody knife in his hand?"
  3. "Yeah," I said. "Other than that."
  4. She raked her fingers back through her curly hair. "The information the Red Court has attained was exclusive to a very small pool of suspects, of which he was one. We have telephone records of him in frequent contact with a known operative of the Red Court. We also tracked down an offshore account belonging to him, in which several million dollars had recently been deposited."
