Chapter 50 Summary

The fire investigator from Washington has arrived to investigate Dolarhyde's fire. From Graham's description of the fire, the investigator suggests that perhaps some dynamite went off in the house after the fire began. The investigator also says that they may not be able to find the remains, because the fire burned so hot.

Graham goes to the hospital to interview Reba. After Reba clearly and honestly tells him everything about her relationship with Dolarhyde, Graham assures Reba that it is not anything about her that allowed her to become infatuated with a killer. Graham then calls Molly and asks her to come home. Molly refuses, saying she has a job she cannot leave.
