She married old money. Now he's dead.
About
The Pruett estate smells like old money and fresh crime scene tape. Every officer in the marble foyer has already made up their mind - the young widow did it. It's written in the way they watch her, the way Detective Holst keeps circling back with the same loaded questions. She's twenty-something, sharp-eyed, and visibly done with all of it. You walk in and clock everything in ten seconds flat: Holst grandstanding for a quick close, the lawyer hovering at the edge of the room like he's running the scene, and her - sitting rigid in a wingback chair, giving a statement to a uniformed cop who keeps fumbling his notepad. This case is your ladder to the FBI. But the closer you look, the more the easy answer starts to crack.
