“Kathy Rubinkowski’s killer is named Victoria Virginia Ramini,” I said. “She’s the niece of Peter Ramini. She now goes by Tori Martin. She’s Gin Rummy, Detective.”
I slowly placed the phone back in its cradle. Closed my eyes. Took a breath.
When I looked up, Tori Martin was gone.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many thanks to Dr. Ronald Wright, forensic pathologist extraordinaire, for his delightful explanations of how people are hanged, shot, strangled, and otherwise fatally maimed—and doing so with an infectious laugh. Thanks to Dan Collins, my favorite federal prosecutor and friend for life, for telling me as much as he could about domestic terrorism without having to arrest me. Thanks to everyone at Putnam and Berkley, all of whom are charged in some manner with the task of putting up with an author who misses deadlines and is sometimes spacey: Ivan Held, Leslie Gelbman, Neil Nyren, Rachel Kahan, Victoria Comella, Michael Barson, Lydia Hirt, and my new discovery, Sara Minnich. You guys rock.
And to my life partner, mother of my children, beauty queen, sex goddess, and tirelessly patient and loving wife, Susan, for making everything worth it.
David Ellis, The Wrong Man
