The town of North Truro loomed ahead, but he veered his mount toward a fish warehouse with a lone dock and a dilapidated dinghy. From the saltwater corrosion in the hull bolts, he suspected the boat hadn’t been used all summer. Down shore he caught sight of a cutter, abandoned on the beach with its bow pulled up onto a rocky stretch to keep it from being washed out into the ocean. The water marks on the side indicated that it had recently returned from a trip. Tom reined the horse and studied the area more carefully. He’d been tracking the carriage since Provincetown, and the tire marks ended at the warehouse, which made sense. If Butch planned to take Victoria out and dump her in the bay, he wouldn’t risk being seen in North Truro. He would have brought her to a more secluded place. Like here. Tom slid down from the mount and bent to study the horse prints. Some led to the building and others pointed back to the road. Had Butch finished the job and already left? Tom glanced again to the cutter down the shore.
