Chapter 8 - THE SECRET BEHIND THE HOTEL KEY
The hotel key sleeve I'd found in Daniel's coat turned out to be important.

Some payments appeared to correspond with dates Daniel claimed to be traveling for legitimate business.
Others lacked supporting invoices.
The investigation also uncovered a contract involving Hawthorne Capital.

My signature.
And a personal guarantee.
I stared.
“I never signed this.”
Emily nodded.
“We suspected that.”
My hands began shaking.
“What does it mean?”
“It may mean someone attempted to use your financial position to secure obligations without your authorization.”
I looked down.
