CHAPTER 83

THREE HOURS AFTER leaving Sophie Dunn, Conklin and I were sitting at a small table in Intervieith her older brother, Michael

Conklin took the lead, and I used the opportunity to look Michael over

Dunn was about thirty, of ht and build, with dark hair, a five-o’clock shadow, and hisoffice-job attire: a dark-gray sports coat, blue button-down shirt, standard striped tie, gray slacks, and, notably, a wedding band I wondered about that Sophie Dunn had said her brother was divorced

Conklin was telling Dunn where the shooting had taken place and the results of the autopsy I looked at Millie’s son for signs of grief or shock, but Michael was showing very little emotion

“She put herself in danger,” he said, “but ould someone kill her? She was harmless and not confrontational”

“When was the last time you spoke with your mother?” I asked

“Three years ago maybe? I don’t exactly reive me the nuht her at home”

He shook his head

“She wasn’t right in the head after my dad died She left school, moved back home, but she detached fro with the homeless”

I said, “That must’ve felt pretty bad”
