CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
Riley’s eyes snapped open at the sound of her cell phone buzzing on her nightstand. She let out a groan of despair.
This is not good news, she thought.
She picked up the phone and heard Bill’s voice.
“Riley, we’ve got trouble.”
Shaking herself awake, Riley replied, “There’s been another murder, hasn’t there?”
“That’s right. This time it’s a housewife. She was alone coming out of a movie theater when it happened. She got killed in the parking lot. A theater employee found the body after the place closed for the night. And it’s the same M.O. as the Ogden murder—one swift hammer blow to the forehead.”
She heard Bill let out a discouraged sigh.
He said, “Jenn and I are here at the murder scene. So are Chief Crane and a team of local cops, and Sam and Dominic.”
