Book Cover & Preview Text
CHAPTER ONE
The former model’s long silky blonde hair had been
perfectly arranged, adding the right touch of color as it fanned out across the
satin blue pillows. She looked beautiful.
Her long slender arms had been crossed and the palms of her hands rested
flat against her perfect shaped breasts. The thin straps of her shocking pink
nightgown rested on her smooth white shoulders.
A decorative bright floral bedspread had also been
carefully arranged to cover the rest of her body as well as the entire bed.
With just a casual glance, no one could see that it been placed to hide the
puddles of her blood and her numerous stab wounds.
The rest of the master bedroom was undisturbed. Everything was in its proper place and
neatly arranged.
Down the gray, plush carpeted hall, a three-month
old baby boy laid on his back, lifeless in his blue expensive crib. His
numerous brightly colored toys had been carefully arranged below his feet. His dark blue blanket had been placed casually
over his multi-colored terry cloth sleeper. A large white teddy bear with a
bright blue ribbon had been carefully propped against the bottom corner post.
Across the room, blood dripped from the
diaper-changing table onto the soft blue carpet. A long, blood- soaked kitchen knife had been discarded into the
empty diaper pail. A stack of disposable diapers was piled on a near-by white
table. Blood spots dotted the top diaper and beads of blood glistened on the
white tabletop.
Across the room, broken pieces of a home monitoring
system lay on the windowsill. In front of the open hallway door, milk from a
crushed plastic baby bottle soaked the bedroom carpet and formed a large
white-crusted circle.
Further down the hallway, a six-year old girl lay
motionless on the floor just outside of her bedroom. Her long blonde hair and
blue pajamas were soaked with blood. She clutched a once white cordless
telephone to her chest.
Several large bloody footsteps covered the hall carpet. They formed a trail from the master bedroom to the nursery and down the hall to the girl’s bedroom.
