She tells me about the plan Whit and Caroline had devised to write an investigative piece for the Rag. “They were aware of Cain McLeod’s past through their family connections. Of course, any investigative journalist could have produced a story on McLeod’s conviction, and his incarceration. Though it isn’t public knowledge, it’s not a state secret. Caroline and Whit wanted to go one better. They intended to get close to Cain, and then to put him under pressure…a story on whether a murderer could in fact be reformed.”
