“Obviously whoever killed him was looking for something,” Gideon said. “Possibly more of the loot from the dig.”

“Now that I know why he got in contact with Cole, I’d say that’s probably the case,” Quint agreed. “We have no way of knowing if he had anything in his car, but the fact the keys are missing makes me think the attacker—or attackers—needed them to get into his home.”
