Cat to the Dogs
“Rain beat against Wilma’s shuttered bedroom windows; a fire burned in the red-enameled woodstove, its light flickering across the flowered quilt and the white-wicker furniture. Wilma sat in bed reading, Dulcie curled up beside her.
She had spent the evening at her desk, poring over a map of the U.S., tracking the locations of auto-loan scams across the country, using an NCIC list that Max Harper had printed out for her from the police computer. The report covered the last six months, but the op...erations that interested her specifically had occurred within the last few weeks.
Her map bristled with pins, but the work had gone slowly, as she had not only to locate the scams, but then to find routes according to dates, marking each route with different colored pins. Some of the trails were circuitous, moving back and forth among half a dozen cities or to several adjoining metropolitan areas.
But one, a line of red pins, delineated a well-defined series of auto-loan scams over the last three weeks—beginning in Greenville, North Carolina, half a day’s drive west of Donegal, the home of the Greenlaw clan, and leading directly across the U.S.—scams that would not have been reported so early on, if not for one fortuitous accident.MoreLess
