Crime & Passion Stalk City Hall Series

Ben watched from his kitchen window as Cori slipped into her car and pulled away from the curb. She hadn't returned his calls or came over as they'd planned. His chest tightened as if there were a wide belt pulled taut around it. Had she figured out he'd lied to her? He had a strong feeling she did. Why else would she avoid him?
