Dora Halverson was a fifty-nine-year-old grandmother of seven whose primary hobby was collecting Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html

signatures from famous people—actors, politicians, killers.

“That was a waste of time,” Will mumbled as they drove back to San Diego. “Swing back by Sara Lorenz’s house. Maybe she’s home.”

Traffic was miserable, and it was after six when they pulled up in front of the Lorenz house. A ten-year-old Toyota was parked in the driveway. “All right,” said Carina. “Let’s put this wild-goose chase to rest and get back to real police work.”

“You’re in a foul mood,” Will said. “Besides, Lorenz drives a Civic.”

“I’ve been a cop for twelve years, a homicide detective for the last two, and never before have I confronted so many women with such a sick fascination with homicidal maniacs.”

“Grandma Halverson sure seemed pleased with her collection,” Will said, ribbing Carina. “Manson, Bundy, Schwarzenegger—”

“You’re not helping.”

They walked up the pathway and Will knocked on the door, then stepped back. The dog barked. It was a little dog, one that his former partner Frank used to call a dust mop.

The woman who opened the door was forty, trim, and wearing a business suit, minus shoes. She bent down to pick up the little yapper—a black-and-white long-haired something.

“Can I help you?”

Will identified himself and Carina. “Are you Sara Lorenz?”

She shook her head. “Stephanie Barr. Sara owns the house.”

“Is she here?”

“No.”

“You’re a friend?”

“No. Not really. I’m her tenant.”

“How long have you been renting from Ms. Lorenz?”

“A little over a year.”

“Do you have a way to contact her?”

Ms. Barr frowned, looked from Carina to Will. “What’s this about?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you that, but she’s not in any trouble. We just want to talk to her about someone she used to know.”

The tenant looked skeptical. “Just a minute,” she said and closed the door.
