Book Cover & Preview Text
His mind ran at a mile a minute. He didn’t realize what was going on around him anymore: the police putting up their ‘DO NOT ENTER’ tape around the area, Melanie explaining what had happened, the beams of light from flashlights shining in various directions, the questions he was mindlessly answering. All of what was going on seemed like some horrible nightmare that he couldn’t wake up from, but he had to face the truth:
Laurie was gone.
