Speak No Evil
“Today’s front-page headline in the Post read: S ECESSIONVILLE CREEK KILLER: EX-PRIEST QUESTIONED Caroline focused on the photo of the man the police had taken in for questioning and her heart somersaulted into her throat.
She read the headline a second time with a sense of dawning horror. And then she grabbed her purse, snagged Frank’s letter and the newspaper and ran out of her office, stopping by the front desk long enough to give Pam instructions: call Amy Jones’s roommate, call CPD, verify ...the Post’s facts—even though she knew the Post’s reporting would be solid.
She had been so preoccupied with her own agenda, with telling a particular story, that she had completely missed the real news. The Post had scooped them, but that wasn’t the worst of it. She had been so preoccupied with hurt feelings and doling out key lime pie that she had endangered the people she most loved.
Obviously, Frank had already checked out and she would deal with him later, but right now, she had to talk to Jack, because the ex-priest—the one they were holding for questioning—was the same man who had tossed Augusta their mother’s shoe last night.MoreLess
