The Silver Anniversary Murder Read online

  I called the Chicago phone number but it was disconnected. I tried Guatemala, but that, too, was out of service. I tried information, but there was no Ariana Brinker in Chicago or Madison. Eventually, I put the packet in our safe-deposit box along with our insurance policies. It seemed an appropriate place.

  I haven’t heard from Ariana since the last postcard. She must be having a good time.
