Chapter 18 Summary

On Saturday morning, Theo feels well-rested for the first time in days. He is surprised to see his uncle at his house, looking through newspaper ads. His mother but doesn’t say anything, eventually figuring out that they’re looking for a place for Julio and his family to stay. Woods then tells Theo that they have an important golf game to get to, and Theo is surprised to find that they’re going to the course in Waverly Creek, where Pete Duffy played the day of his wife’s murder.

At the course, Theo is at first distracted by his setting, and then Woods explains that they’re hoping to help clear the path to citizenship for Julio’s cousin and that the Boones are willing to sponsor him. They have not yet figured out how to convince him to testify in court.

Around the sixth hole, they find where the cousin would have been sitting when he saw Duffy enter and exit his home. As they take pictures of the spot, Theo spots Pete Duffy—who paid his bail and never spent a day in a prison cell—watching them from his back patio with binoculars. They quickly move on to the next place of interest.
