by Ritu Sethi
He plopped down on the couch, anxious for Adeline’s arrival – when a knock sounded at the door. She must have been very close by to have reached his house so quickly.
On aching legs, he moved to the front door. Opening it brought in a gentle breeze, carrying with it a familiar scent.
The woman under the porch light, her jet-black hair shimmering like silk, looked the same – yet oddly changed.
Gray’s wife, Sita, who had disappeared three years earlier, stood at the threshold – holding a small girl.
“Hello, Gray. It’s been a long time.”
He knew his mouth hung open; no words formed.
She rocked the girl, who looked to be about two years old, in her slim and long arms. Arms which he remembered rocking Craig.
“This is Noel,” Sita said. “Your daughter.”
Gray said nothing; felt nothing.
The squat tumbler of scotch slipped from his hand and crashed to the ground.
THE END
See what happens to Gray next.
Something is brewing in the quaint and peaceful coastal town of Searock – edged between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains near Vancouver. The town of Chief Inspector Gray James’s youth and where it all began – where he had a hand in his son’s death.
But healing has to wait because THE STITCHER is back after a fifteen-year absence. And the victim – lips sutured shut with medical nylon – is found lying spread-eagled in a nearby Body Farm.
With threats launched against Gray’s family, he must solve the case before a storm blasts the village, before his estranged wife takes from him what matters most, before his most guarded secret is finally revealed
