1 the Bank of the River
“During the drive he had plenty of time to think about what Debra had to say, which seemed damn little.
It was hard to analyze something you didn’t take seriously. He’d been hoping she might have once heard her father-in-law comment on the house, something that might have given him a direction to pursue, but instead all he got was “evil.” Evil was for the irrational, the superstitious, and the simple minded.
