Chapter 6: Conundrum             The Carter estate lie on the edge of town.  It was an older house, and it looked gloomy.  The roof was starting to crack and come apart, the gardener had apparently been fired long ago, and the gate, fortunately enough, was halfway torn down.  Even with all of the flaws, this place still retained much of it’s luster and brilliance.  As much as he hated living here, Carter had to respect the house’s elegance as he emerged from the back of the taxi.  The driver was an old friend of Tom’s, Riley O’Hare, and they used him now and again to avoid the possibility of getting linked to the scene of the crime.  Riley was a trusted man.             “Wait at the end of the street.  If I’m not back in thirty minutes, leave me.”  Riley acknowledged Carter’s words with a nod.  His plan was simple: sneak in, ...
