Iced!: the 2007 Journal of Nick Fitzmorgan (2009)
“June 2, 2007 7:30 PM For the next three hours, I worked on reconstructing the face over the skull. Maura had made a sweep through the house—checking to make sure that there were no intruders or a ransom note that I had missed. But, like me, she had come up empty–handed. There were no concrete clues as to what had happened to my dad.

“I hope so,” I said, gently pushing a piece of clay onto the skull. “But Judge spoke with him this morning. She told him I’d be home today.”

“Does this look like anyone you know?”MoreLess
