The name Carter immediately stirred an old memory. Shortly before Robert died, a mysterious woman named Evelyn Carter had visited him.

That was when Margaret\u2019s youngest son, Daniel, admitted he had been hiding something. Twelve years earlier, shortly after his father\u2019s death, Daniel had discovered a secret safe.

For the first time in twelve years, Margaret knew exactly what he had meant.<\/p>\n
