Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Quinn’s lawyer, Dusty Shiver, challenges Quinn’s confession on the grounds of coercion and deception. While FBI Director Victor Westlake does have a video recording of the interrogation that shows some breaches of the rules by the interrogating agents, he has no intention of showing it. The agents illegally threatened Quinn with the death penalty, but the agents have also signed an affidavit saying that they didn’t do so. They also lied to Quinn about a number of other things, but lying is permissible in an interrogation. The prosecutor asks Victor Westlake if there are any other irregularities in the interrogation. Westlake lies, claiming there were none, although no one in the room believes him or cares. The important thing is that the confession must be solid, since apart from Malcolm, it is the only evidence that isn’t purely circumstantial.
Malcolm sends a letter to his father explaining that he has been transferred to a high-security prison and won’t be able to see him for several months. Malcolm begins to make references to plans that call for evading the supervision of the marshals. He begins moving his reward money for turning in Quinn to three different banks, and he sets up an LLC called Skelter Films.
