The information on the young man was minimal but a good start. My intentions were to find out as much as I could on him, piecing him into the murder of Evan Sting. A strong hunch itched at me, and convinced my thinking that he was important—someway and somehow—concerning the killing. With much labor, a simple plan, and commitment, I could obtain facts about the Colt son, his whereabouts on the day of the murder, and his alibi.
