The Closer Bell — Case 34: The Extra Hour
Story 12 of 12 · Starts on page 97
A nineteen-year-old line cook faces trial for a fatal hit-and-run because the county's crash-reconstruction AI, RECON, puts his car, phone, and plate at the scene at 1:34 a.m. Public defender Hattie Bloodworth hires Gus, Lee, and Mildred, who notice the crash happened the night the clocks fell back — when 1:34 happened twice — and Hattie cross-examines the machine in open court.
