empire. Sable has to fight to keep herself alive and the others. Will she
survive the day of reckoning?
Excerpt:
"I know you’re probably
wondering what I’m doing here," Gabriel began. He had to pause for a
moment then he continued as he laid the envelope on her desk. "I received
this in the mail the other day. I’m not really sure what to do with it."
He pushed the envelope over
to her then waited while she picked it up. Sable glanced at it, unable to
recognize the writing. The letter was addressed to "The Honorable Gabriel
Reardon."
Sable glanced over at him
asking, "May I?"
He watched as she opened the
envelope.
Shocked at the contents of
the envelope, she pulled out a birth certificate, a photograph of a small child,
and a note. Picking up the photo of the child, she looked it over carefully.
The child appeared to be around four to six years old. His hair was a dark
color although it was hard to tell. She couldn’t take her eyes off the child‘s
face. What drew her gaze was the color of the boy’s eyes. Sable glanced at the
birth certificate and quickly read the note. When she finished, she glanced at
Gabriel. "Is this for real?"
"As far as I can make
out it is," Gabriel said.
A sense of dread filled her
as she reread the letter in the envelope. "You
murdered my father. I’m here to even the score so watch your backs because you
won’t see me coming until its too late. Vengeance shall be mine." The
letter was signed Sam.
Sable picked up the birth
certificate again and read it carefully. It said a son named Sam had been born
to Abbey Larsen one year after Sable had been left for dead in the dry well.
The certificate named Micah Reardon as the father of the baby. Doing some math
Sable determined Sam was about twenty years old.
Nick and Max were in the
office. She had forgotten Quentin and Brandi were out on another case. They
would be gone for another three weeks.
"Nick," Sable
called out. "We have a problem."
Maura for Coffee Time Reviews says:
"The plot is
suspenseful and spine tingling by turns and never boring."
