Somebody did this to them.' 'Then how did the cops get it so wrong?' 'They rushed to the wrong conclusion. Tunnel vision. It was bullshit, but then they got stuck.'

B) "Lou Winter's will had appointed the Royal Trust Company as executors and trustees of the estate, with instructions to oversee the affairs both of Empire and the four children, should both Winter and his wife die. Three days after Beverley died, Sherman wrote a letter to Royal Trust. He has a plan. Opportunity was on the table, risk was certain, the reward could be substantial. He proposed that he would purchase all of his deceased uncle's assets, including Empire and related companies Winter had created. ... He suggested that he would take over immediately as general manager of Empire, putting his studies on hold, and that he would be given the first opportunity to purchase all the assets in January, just two months later. Sherman gave Royal Trust a twenty-four-hour time limit to consider his offer. It was rejected." (page 33, chp. 3, "Being Barry," TBM).
