Chapter 43 Summary

Lana arrives at the land trust building and is told that the library door sticks frequently, implying that she was not locked in the room. She discovers most of the trust’s paperwork was destroyed in the fire. While Lana thinks that Diana could have caused the fire, she also does not think that starting a fire is Diana’s style. The woman working at the trust, Gaby, believes that Ricardo was seeing someone, and she tells Lana that he rode a bike with two panniers everywhere he went. Ricardo uncharacteristically called in sick the Thursday before he died, and Victor and Ricardo had a terrible argument before Ricardo took his panniers and left. That was the last time Gaby saw him. When Ricardo left on his bike, he headed toward Diana’s house. Lana realizes that she was wrong in thinking the deaths were about real estate. Instead, they are about love though she does not know what type. She thinks that Ricardo might have been misleading Diana and Victor about going along with their ideas while he was secretly planning with Hal.
