About this Book

Print Excerpt


"How old?"

"About Amanda's age."

"What's his name?"

"Dmitri."

"That's kind of different. What's your wife's name?"

"We're divorced." He tapped the notebook page in her hand. "Do your best with this." Liza went out.

Petrov searched Amanda's room. Not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. Long ago he'd learned that the best discoveries were made low down. He knelt, took out his pencil flash, shone it under Amanda's bed; and made a discovery right away—a Hallmark card, torn in three pieces. As he rose to examine it, a tiny, penny-size headache popped up above his left eye, centered perhaps three centimeters behind his brow.
