Material Witness (2012)
“It wasn’t what he wanted to do. He wanted to push through the growing crowd until he reached Callie’s side, and then pull her into his arms and assure himself she wasn’t hurt.
But plainly she was not hurt.
He could see that from where he sat. Plus dispatch had reported one deceased and that would be the lady facedown in the parking lot with her arms splayed out to her sides. The woman appeared to be Amish, but Shane knew from his years as a county detective that clothing didn’t prove a thing.
