Io’s first suspect, Horatio, had turned out to be another victim, punished for his involvement in the wraiths’ abductions during the Riots. Her second suspect had been Saint-Yves, who concealed the wraiths’ identities from the public and failed to prosecute the victims in the past. But he, too, could be ruled out: firstly, because he seemed loyal to the proper justice systems, secondly, because he had offered a partnership to Bianca Rossi, and thirdly—and most importantly—because the newest wraith had just attempted to kill him. The whole attack could be a ruse, but Io didn’t think so.
