Chapter 43

Paisley knew the moment she laid eyes on Detective Joel Fisher that today was not going in her favor.

"You don't have good news."

Detective Fisher opened his mouth as if to protest, then spread his hands with an apologetic wince. "There's no way to trace the package."

"What do we do? It's escalating."

"Each contact has been non-threatening," he pointed out. "No actual laws have been broken."
