Edward Fosca was a murderer,
This was a fact. This wasn't something Mariana knew just on an

along her blood, and deep within every cell
Edward Fosca was guilty.
And yet - she couldn 't prove it, and might never prove it. This man, this

But he hadn't. Not yet
Mariana was determined to outsmart him. She had to.
She would sit up all night and remember everything that had happened
She would sit here, in this small, dark room in Cambridge, and think, and

Every single detail.
And she would catch him.
