Officer Timothy O’Fallon’s death may have been ruled an accident, but private investigator Rachel Alexander can’t let the details of his case go. Allegedly, the cop was cleaning his service revolver when it misfired—but why did he name Alexander as the executor of his will? O’Fallon was a stranger to her, a member of the 9/11 survivors group she went to with her pit bull Dashiell. Though he attended all the meetings, he never spoke a word. Outside of the single sentence O’Fallon uttered to her one night after he’d taken Dash for a walk around the block—returning the dog with his fur soaked in tears—Rachel knows nothing about him.
