Bree ran toward her car so fast that she slipped in the mud and sprawled to both knees and both hands in the mire. Her keys got coated with muck. Cursing but moving carefully, she got to her feet and wiped the keys off on one of the few clean spots on her jeans, then looked around.

For a moment, through the slant of gray rain, she felt disoriented. Was her truck where she had left it?

Of course it was, straight across the tiny parking lot. She’d gotten turned around and was looking the wrong way. Was she losing it?

With a nervous glance, she walked toward it, telling herself to watch her footing. Any thought she’d had of walking around back to talk to Bess in the kitchen or to try to find out why Daria met a man “out back,” as the bartender had said, flew right out of her head. She was getting away from here.

In the driving rain, she tried to get her key in the door lock, but she was shaking so hard it didn’t go right in. At least the rain cleaned the last of the mud from her keys.

And then—she wasn’t sure where he’d come from—she saw a man striding straight for her, as if he’d emerged from the ditch or the swamp. He wore all black, jeans and old running shoes, windbreaker and a billed hat. The neck of a second black T-shirt was pulled up around his face for a mask. And he held a huge, raised wrench in one hand.
