But what seems straightforward to her isn&rsquo;t to anyone else. Howie&rsquo;s deadbeat friends aren&rsquo;t even sure Howie was murdered: what if he just killed himself? Undeterred, Mackenzie suspects the cryptic Isa, who Howie was running errands for before his death. Was she Howie&rsquo;s lover? Or just the focus of Howie&rsquo;s unrelenting obsession?
