CHAPTER 1 Private investigator Andi Wicksham stood at the edge of a double row of small holes aligned in a field with similar rows holding miniature winter-bare roses.

She gave a last kick at the mud-iron, pulled at the collar of her coat and pushed past Andi to give William Tyson a turn at scraping the mud from his shoes.

He shot Andi a cold stare, holding her eyes until breaking away with a little underscoring nod.

Gould was a retired bank manager, with a permanently soured expression and straight-backed, anal fussiness that rankled Andi before they were even introduced.

Lena offered with a quiet voice so unlike her usual tone that Andi got suspicious.

Without even going around to her chair Andi reached for the phone and impatiently punched in the number.

Her mother sounded exactly like she used to when telling about upcoming plans for a symposium on a weekend Andi had softball games.

Later, as evening over-took late afternoon, Andi sat by herself under the eves of the balcony while Lena poached some sole from the freezer in lemon juice and capers and steamed broccoli and rice to go with it.

Mid-morning, Andi drove through an off-and-on drizzle to keep appointments with Alison Simpson and William Tyson.

She opened the door before Andi had time to knock and led her quietly down the hall to a sunny table in the kitchen.

Pouring coffee, carrying cups, pulling out the chair and sitting down--a hand sweeping her dress straight under her as she descended--perfectly polite and proper, though barely risking eye contact since meeting Andi at the door.

Wetting her lips with her tongue, she lifted her hands from her lap, shifted the position of her coffee cup a bit to the right, then glanced up at Andi with what could have been defiance.

After asking the question Andi sat a quietly as she could, trying to ease into the background.

Her eyes had a far-away look, as if remembering her uncle--she held that held that pose until Andi spoke.

Simpson again favored Andi with an unfocused gaze and self-satisfied smile.
