WILL TIME WAIT: Boxed Set Of 3 Bestselling 'ticking Clock' Thrillers - Plot & Excerpts
I bit into my bottom lip and stared for several long seconds at the all-telling photo. Although out of focus, it was unmistakably Laura and Daryl, outside a white front door with a stained-glass red rose detail. Their faces were less than an inch apart at opposing angles. Lips slightly parted, suggesting a kiss. Goddamnit! Their private moment captured on film was being used against her. A white light flashed into the hall from the street. I slid the photo into my dressing gown pocket, stuffed my feet into the nearest shoes - ridiculously high stilettos - and fumbled with the key to unlock the front door. I stood on the path, which glowed orange from the street lamp, then stared left and right along the dark road. I searched for a figure, headlights, movement, sounds, anything. The absence of a moving vehicle suggested I was too late to catch the messenger. Undeterred, I dashed five steps into the middle of the dark road and looked again. “Who the hell are you?” My heart thumped hard inside my chest with lost hope while I stood alone in the black, foreboding stillness. My slow reaction must have allowed whoever posted the envelope through my letterbox sufficient time to disappear. Cursing, I took another long look to both ends of the street, and then began walking. I peered into car windows with feigned optimism that the blackmailer might be sitting in a vehicle, waiting to drive off. The first few cars sat empty.
