"When I started to investigate Danny's murder, I found Danny's statements of accounts," Luca began. "There were lump sums of money. Frequent deposits. All coming from an offshore account."
Honey tilted her head slightly, curiosity flickering across her face.
"Why did that surprise you?" she asked.
Luca scratched the back of his head, searching for the right way to explain.
"Well, in our line of work, an untraceable account usually means someone who doesn't want to be known," he said slowly. "It means someone wants photos. As discreetly as possible."
Honey raised an eyebrow but said nothing, letting him continue.
"It happens frequently enough," Luca went on. "An entertainment company wants scandalous photos of a rival superstar so that their star can come ahead. Some executive wants dirt on their competitors. A politician wants proof of an affair but they don't want it traced back to them. They send money quietly, off the books, for your services."
