Chapter 29 Summary

Lacy and Pacheco have dinner together. Lacy insists on splitting the check, and they enjoy getting better acquainted. Pacheco tells her that his boss is close to giving the go-ahead for the FBI to get involved in the case. They just need a little more evidence to tip him over the edge. He leaves her at her door with a kiss on the cheek.

Chapters 30-31 Summary

Wilton arranges a covert meeting between Lacy, her boss, and Lyman Gritt. Gritt tells them he can’t work with them openly because it could threaten his family, but he has evidence they can use. He hands over a flash drive containing video of Clyde and Zeke at the filling station and of Berl Munger stealing the Dodge ram. In addition, he hands them the paper towels with the blood sample. He tells them that with luck, the bleeding man will have a record, and they’ll be able to identify him from DNA.

After the crime lab runs the DNA and identifies it as Zeke Foreman’s, Lacy and her boss locate Zeke at the office of his parole officer and arrest him. They tell him that he has rights for his involvement in a homicide but that they’ll let him go free in witness protection if he tells them everything he knows about the Coast Mafia.
