Well, he's a WE/WE and he may have answered too quickly on the last question. I wonder if Tangredi has crossed paths with him?

He didn't think it out. The Washington Monument doesn't have a south pillar.

That would have been my reasoning, and I wouldn't have pulled the trigger either.

Not so far. But NY is crawling with playwrights.

In other words, a WE/WE®.

No puppy for Fresh . I haven't read the whole book but I have read the first chapter, so I got this one. Besides, which of the others has "pillars"?

Book spoiler warning!

The "pillars" clue aside, reading the whole book might have contributed to Kevin's wrong answer. The (incredibly lame) Masonic treasure turns out to be hidden in the Washington Monument's cornerstone.
