Drenched in theicy waters of Lake Superior, she claims to have narrowly escaped a cold-bloodedkiller.
Stride’s raw instinct is to protect Cat, whose late parents’case—and his personal guilt associated with it—still sends a shiver down hisspine. As a result, he takes the troubled teenager under his wing.
But Stride’s partner, Maggie Bei, is not convinced. Shedoubts the sincerity of this beautiful young streetwalker who has so easily wonStride’s trust, and now sleeps in his house with a butcher’s knife under herpillow.
