about insider trading. But now we know why Bruce might have been motivated to do that. If he owed that much money and was getting heat from his bookie then he might be pretty desperate.”
    “I don’t feel sorry for him,” Aubrey muttered, pushing her plate away. “I know that sounds terrible but he caused all his own problems. He was like this in school too. Everything was always someone else’s fault. Another reason I stayed far away from him. I am sorry he’s dead, though. No one deserves to be murdered.”
    “He sure as shit isn’t the most sympathetic murder victim I’ve ever seen.” Shane waved his fork in the air. “Honestly he sounds like a real douchebag. According to Jason this guy would have stolen candy from orphans. It’s actually kind of surprising it took someone this long to kill him.”
    “Unfortunately they chose the weekend I was here. That cop thinks I did it.”
    Shane patted her hand. “I spent a few years in the public defender’s office cutting my legal teeth in the beginning of my career, and I can tell you that cops are going to put you on the defensive when they question you. It’s just a tactic and it doesn’t mean that they think you’re guilty. Hopefully this Prather guy is keeping an open mind. He’ll need to with all the suspects he’s going to have. Even if he arrests someone the prosecutor is going to have a bitch of a time with reasonable doubt. If they don’t have some decent forensics this case will be a defense attorney’s dream.”
    “A killer running loose,” Aubrey groaned. “That doesn’t make me feel any better, Shane.”
    “That would be scary if this were a random murder.” Travis tapped the plate with his fingers. “But for now I think we need to go on the assumption that the killer chose Bruce for a compelling reason. Love. Money. Maybe revenge.”
    Shane hopped up from the table, coffee cup in hand, and began to pace back and forth. Whenever he was around he was like this, full of energy and life. The woman he ended up with was going to need a great deal of stamina to keep up with him. “So let’s review. Who do we know that has a motive?”
    “Me,” she answered quietly. “He threatened to tell Travis a secret.”
    Shane nodded, but like the gentleman he was he didn’t ask what she’d been keeping from his cousin. He was polite like that, as were all the Anderson men. If they didn’t need to know something they didn’t believe it was any of their business.
    “But other than you,” Shane pressed. “We should make a list.”
    Travis already had his laptop open since he had been conversing back and forth with Jason.
    “I know Martin had a motive, as much as I hate to say it. Bruce’s actions could bring down everything Martin has worked for and make him a pariah in the financial world.”
    “Plus his wife,” Aubrey suggested. “If he was propositioning me I’m guessing I’m not the first. Plus Jason said he liked the ladies.”
    Travis tapped on the keyboard. “If you’d ever met Caroline you wouldn’t think she was capable of hurting a fly, but you’re right. To be thorough we have to include everyone on the list.”
    Shane paused and took a deep swig of his coffee. “The ones that don’t seem like killers are the ones you have to be careful of. They’re the most dangerous in my experience.”
    Does that include me? Or do I look like I could kill?
    “His bookie. Basically anyone he owed money to,” Travis offered. “I asked Jason to try and find out exactly who Bruce owed money to and how much. I also asked him to find out about Bruce’s women. There might be a connection there.”
    Aubrey gestured to the laptop. “So we have a list. What now? Do we give it to Prather?”
    Both Shane and Travis laughed and she had to slap the table hard to get their attention. She ought to be used to the almost spooky psychic connection these Anderson men had, but it never ceased to amaze her how their minds worked the same. She also
