Chapter 8 - Reviewing The Forged Share Transfer Documents With Lena
Back at the county precinct office, Detective Ortiz laid out the recovered paperwork across her stainless-steel desk.

“Look at the signature line here, Martha. She even traced your handwriting using a carbon sheet from your old tax files,” Lena noted.
I adjusted my hospital neck brace as I sat in the metal chair opposite her desk, sipping a warm cup of paper-cup tea.
“She thought because I retired from the Comptroller’s office that I wouldn't recognize amateur forgery techniques,” I said dryly.
“Greed makes people sloppy. She wanted Mercer House and those logistics shares before the quarterly dividend payout,” Lena agreed.
