"A robbery," Detective Miller mumbled, his eyes darting nervously toward the Wolf

family.
I swallowed the grief rising in my throat and lifted Tessa’s hand. "Detective," my voice

was low and gravelly. "My wife knows martial arts. If a stranger att;ac;ked her, she

would have clawed, she would have fought to survive. There would be skin under her

nails."


I let her hand drop and turned sharply to lock eyes with Victor. "But these nails are

clean. That means she was res;tr;a;ined. By people she trusted."
