To my daughter Veronica, who has read all my books,
and said nice things about every single one.
Contents
LAURENCE SHOOK HIS head as he read the investigatorâs report for the second time. Frustration consumed him, along with dismay. Heâd assumed his daughter would be married by now. Married with children. She was twenty-eight, after all. Twenty-eight and beautiful. Very beautiful.
His eyes moved over to the photo attached to the report, his heart filling with pride when he saw that his genes had produced a truly gorgeous creature. Gorgeous, but childless.
Such a waste!
Sighing, he returned to re-read the report.
Veronica had been engaged three years earlier to a doctor sheâd met at the childrenâs hospital she worked in. She was a physiotherapist and her fiancé an orthopaedic surgeon. Tragically, heâd been killed in a motorcycle accident two weeks before their wedding. After that, there was no evidence of her ever dating anyone again. She didnât even seem to have many friends. Sheâd become a loner, still living with her mother and not doing much of anything besides work, which she did from home now, rather than in hospitals.
