“Rosie was at his desk, and Mason was sitting on the edge of it, so he wouldn’t have to talk too loudly.
“This is bending my brain,” Rosie said. “The Wraith’s dead. We found him hanging, with his latest victim still warm in his cellar. How can he still be hunting like this?”
“I don’t know, pal. What if Terrence Cobb didn’t kill the guy in his basement? What if he was set up?”
“What do you mean? His prints were on the hammer. The victim’s blood was all over his clothes.”
“Okay, I’ll rephrase. Wha...t if he was brilliantly set up?”

“I know all that. But the fact remains, we’ve got another victim. If Cobb was the killer, we wouldn’t have, would we?”
