Zack nodded. \u201cBut if the mother stole it, why would she vandalize the apartment?\u201d I rolled my eyes. \u201cTo make it look like a burglary.\u201d He frowned. \u201cWhy bother? How would the police know the journal is missing if they didn\u2019t even know it existed?\u201d That was a good question, and I\u2019d already considered it. \u201cPeople knew about the journal. Nina, Dr. Korwin\u2014he has all his patients keep journals. I knew about it, and Lenore probably told some other people. What if one of them mentioned the journal to the police, and the police discovered that it was missing?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zack didn\u2019t answer right away. \u201cDoes the mother have a key to her daughter\u2019s apartment?\u201d \u201cShe must, because the manager told me she stopped Mrs. Rowan from going into Lenore\u2019s apartment on Thursday afternoon. Detective\u2019s orders.\u201d I frowned. \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cI had a thought, but now it\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

I shrugged to make light of it, but I hate when that happens. \u201cOh, well. It\u2019ll come back to me.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve overlooked three possibilities. One, Lenore may have written things in the journal that were connected to her ex-husband\u2019s political campaign or his business or to someone else entirely.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve overlooked it. I haven\u2019t.\u201d I stacked our plates. \u201cWhat\u2019s the second possibility?\u201d \u201cThat this has nothing to do with the journal. Maybe Lenore had something else that someone wanted to retrieve.\u201d I nodded. \u201cAnd the third?\u201d \u201cWhat Detective Connors suggested. That Lenore really did kill herself, and the burglar was anxious to retrieve something incriminating before someone else, either the police or a family member, found it.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was certainly plausible, and I couldn\u2019t rule it out. \u201cBut then why would Lenore tell me she was afraid?\u201d \u201cBecause she was thinking of killing herself and hoped you\u2019d talk her out of it. Or because she was afraid of having another child.\u201d \u201cBut why me?<\/p>\n

I hardly knew her, Zack. Why didn\u2019t she phone someone close to her\u2014her mother or best friend? Her shrink, for that matter.\u201d \u201cYou visited her in the hospital. You showed concern. Maybe she connected with you.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d I took the plates to the kitchen. \u201cAs to your first two possibilities, I plan to check into Saunders and some other things.\u201d Zack followed me. \u201cBe careful, Molly.<\/p>\n

Rochelle Krich www.rochellekrich.com 1kitap1.com\/en A NOTE ON PRONUNCIATION Yiddish has certain consonant sounds that have no English equivalents\u2014in particular that guttural ch (achieved by clearing one\u2019s throat) that sounds like the ch in Bach or in the German Ach. Some Yiddish historians and linguists, including the Yiddish Scientific Institute (YIVO\u2014Yidisher Visenshaftikhe Institut), spell this sound with a kh (Khanukah, khalla). Others use ch (Chanukah, challa). I\u2019ve chosen to use ch. To help the reader unfamiliar with Yiddish, I\u2019ve also doubled some consonants (chapp, gitte).<\/p>\n

Zh is pronounced like the s in treasure. Tsh is pronounced like the ch in lurch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
