SIXTY-FOUR

HOG HILL ROAD

What the hell have you done, Digger? Why would you kill again?

Careful not to touch her or anything in the room, Heath dropped his head into his hands. His body trembled with the memory of seeing his sister just like this. His father counting as he performed CPR. Digger standing in a stupor with the pillow in his hand.

Only it was too late for her. It was too late for Kelsey, too.

Bile rose to his throat, and he turned and fled the room. The pulled pork sandwich he’d eaten earlier was about to come up.

He hit the outside and flew down the steps, then over to the giant oak where he puked into the bushes. A groan erupted from deep within him and sweat streamed down his face. Coughing, he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and dragged it across his mouth. Then he sank to the ground and stared back at the house, pain wrenching his gut.

Seconds turned into minutes as a silent debate thrashed in his mind. He didn’t want to believe his half brother had done this. Had taken another innocent life.

But the scene, the way the body was posed, the place where Kelsey had been left… it all pointed to Digger.

Shit. He’d become a cop because of Anna Marie’s death. He’d taken an oath to serve and protect.

The Tillers deserved to bury their daughter and to know that the person responsible was in jail.

He hadn’t told Ellie anything about his past.

He reached for his phone with a clammy hand.

But he had to tell her now.
