Jack's mouth drops open. "What are you talking about?" Sandy smiles, "I'm talking about Fred Tweed, the Ponzi-scheme billionaire and donor of yours who is now dead.

I thought I deserved over fifteen dollars an hour for keeping that shit secret. "But to be clear, the letter you delivered the night Kenneally died said what?"

The sense that something's off here. Like when you're walking home alone at night, and you turn down the wrong street and you know you're not safe.... I'm saying thag whoever killed Father Kenneally is still out there."
