Sidney Sheldon's After The Darkness (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
She felt safer in the city. Her new look helped, too: cropped, chocolate-brown hair, dark makeup, baggy, mannish clothes. One of the girls at Bedford had told her that altering one’s walk could dramatically change people’s perceptions. Grace had spent hours perfecting a longer-strided, less girlish gait. It was still unnerving, catching sight of her “old” face whenever she passed a television or a newsstand. But as the days passed, she grew more confident that the combination of her disguise and the crowded anonymity of the city would protect her, for a while at least. Her second day in the city, she’d braved a hole-in-the-wall Internet café and sent a message to the Hotmail address Karen had given her using the specified code: “200011209LW.” Grace hoped this meant “please send $2,000 to zip code 11209 in New York in the name of Lizzie Woolley,” but she still felt certain that something would go wrong. Was $2,000 too much to ask for or too little? She realized belatedly she had no idea how much money Karen’s friend had, or was willing to send her.
