Chapter 10 - The Unfinished Business
Claire stared at the terrifying photograph with a sense of absolute paralyzing horror.
The picture proved that the tragic car accident that killed Alejandro's wife was actually a highly planned assassination.
She turned the faded photograph over with trembling fingers to see if there was any writing on the back.
