fatal accidents brought to his attention by Dorothea Frazil. This includes Bright's wife, who is fatally electrocuted in a freak accident at their home. Morse's suggestion that an insurance fraud of buying up life policies (viaticals) and then killing off the insured is behind the accidents is angrily dismissed by Thursday and Bright.
