My partner answered the phone on the second ring.
"Hey, Goren," I said. "Are you done at the library?"
"Almost. Why?"
"Get this: two months ago George Karellian opened a front company in his wife's name."
"His dead wife." I heard a book closing heavily; his voice dropped to a whisper as he added, "And the missing money?" I imagined a librarian glaring at him for making noise.
"Looks like he laundered it. The Captain has Josh working on the financial trace. We need to bring Karellian in."
"His office is..."
"A few blocks north of the library," I said. "Hurry up. I'm double parked near the lions out front."
