Chapter 17 Summary

Vera takes food to the police station where Officer Gray works. The station is disappointing, as it looks nothing like what she has seen on television. She uses the food to disarm the police and give herself a chance to question Officer Gray. Vera reminds her of Marshall’s marked face and the suspicious nature of the bird dander in his stomach. Officer Gray dismisses these details as coincidental, and Vera decides it was a good thing she took the flash drive.

Chapter 18 Summary

A few weeks have passed since Marshall’s death. Oliver helps Vera change lightbulbs in her shop. She reveals that she kept his draft of a novel and has been reading it. Oliver remembers that the story is loosely based on his life, having worked on it while supporting himself as the manager of his building.

Later, Oliver receives a call from Julia: She has learned that Marshall had a secret apartment downtown. Dreading what it might expose about Marshall, she asks Oliver to check it for her. Julia adds that she enjoyed seeing him again after so long. He hopes to see more of her and Emma but realizes his hope comes off as flirting. Upon entering the apartment, Oliver finds it full of art pieces by different artists.
