Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 26 Summary

When Buddy Lee gets home, Christine is there in a gold Lexus. She says she prayed for Derek and knows she failed him as a mother. She has just come from a fancy party where her new husband, Gerald Culpepper, announced his bid for governor. She sobs that Derek’s death is her fault. Buddy Lee doesn’t comfort her; he believes the pain is good for her. He tells her that he and Ike are investigating the murders, and she reminds him affectionately that once he head-butted Gerald. Enjoying the memory, Buddy Lee sings a sad George Jones song to himself as she leaves.

Chapter 27 Summary

Jazzy tells Ike that she might never be ready to come back to work. She also tells him not to ruin what he has built. Buddy Lee arrives, and Ike tells him about attacking the car with the bikers in it. Ike remembers that one of the boys at the cake shop said he had done a job for Tariq, the music producer who might be Tangerine’s boyfriend. Ike calls the bakery and impersonates an important customer, acquiring Tariq’s address in the process. He and Buddy Lee get in the car and drive away.
