In Los Angeles, hatred pushed Brent Templeton from health spa to gym, shoving the picture of Maggie at anyone who might have known her.

A cockroach slid along the battered table in his cheap room as he poured another drink. Brent leaped to his feet, brushed the insect away with a newspaper and stomped it. Using rubber gloves, he cleaned the area meticulously and used disinfectant. It was Maggie’s fault that he’d had to use cheap rooms, cleaning before being somewhat comfortable in them.

One of Brent’s calls had paid off, an upscale gym manager remembered Maggie working for him. Then one day a real estate magnate had come in, recognized Maggie from San Francisco, and had pressured the manager to fire her. The manager received several calls from prominent San Francisco clients who added pressure, and he’d let her go. She had acted like she was expecting it and did not object.

But then, Brent had had a hand in ruining her career and her business, too. From his motel window, he looked at a woman jogging down the street, hoping—but the woman didn’t have Maggie’s rich chestnut hair.

His finger circled Maggie’s snapshot. “Glenda looked like you, but I much prefer the real thing, not a substitute. I wonder how you’ll look when I tell you that I gave Glenda that last shot in her arm. She welcomed it like a lover, begging for it, and in my way, I put her out of her misery.”

He picked up a picture of Maggie and Glenda, young women hugging each other, the same bright, penny-colored hair. “I’m a hunter and I’ll find you. I’ll find you,” he repeated confidently.

His face loomed in the mirror, not a pretty sight. “In the year and months since you disappeared, they put me in the hospital a couple of times, and I don’t have the resources I once did, but I’ll find you. Please don’t be dead. That would ruin the pleasure of killing you—slowly.”

Then with the air of the methodical businessman he’d once been, a fast-moving entrepeneur, Brent picked up the telephone and began calling gyms and spas, looking for information.

He would find Maggie and when he did, she would be punished.
