Reply To: The Searcher: Cal’s decision about Mart
I think Cal made the only viable choice. Nancy outlines the risks to Trey if he reports Brendan’s death. I think he also considers the risk to others in Ardnakelty. Mart did not act alone and many in the town would be culpable as well, maybe even found more liable than Mart. This reminds me of decisions faced by Armand and Cork O’Connor as well; decisions that go against their training and oaths as law enforcement but represent a judgement that allowing something to go is more important.
