Something was wrong in Silver Valley, Pennsylvania, but Portia DiNapoli couldnât put her finger on it. It wasnât the weather, which had been hellacious since Christmas. She couldnât remember such a cold, snowy winter since her childhood. And it wasnât the stress of putting together the townâs largest charity event, the gala to raise funds for the library she ran and the homeless shelter where she volunteered many hours. If she thought about it deeply enough, the sense of doom had more to do with the story sheâd read in the Harrisburg newspaper that proclaimed the area was under siege from Russian Organized Crime. Silver Valley had been named as the center of ROCâs efforts to move everything from illicit drugs to weapons. It struck at her heart, because Silver Valley was where sheâd lived her entire life.
Although right now, having to dress in several layers to go anywhere in town, it was hard to believe even ROC could run criminal operations from here. Silver Valley had turned into a frozen tundra from the relentless winter.
Sheâd arrived three hours before opening to work at the Silver Valley Library. She needed the time to work on the gala, which was now less than a month away. And she loved the quiet of the historical building, the way it always felt like a warm hug, even in the January predawn hours. Pennsylvania remained gripped by the tenacious hand of a polar vortex; arctic air had mercilessly swept the state and frozen everything in its wake. More surface area of the Susquehanna River was frozen than ever previously recorded.
It took her a full two minutes to unwrap from her layers of winter protection. Sheâd opted to walk the few blocks from her small apartment, even in the cold. Portia loved the four seasons and especially winter, but even she was relieved to be inside the warm building and not on the icy streets.
