Read an Excerpt
“Getting
colder,” Jack said and shuffled his boots over the icy turf. “By the time this
is over all these people will be half frozen.”
Helen
Kaito turned toward her husband and into the onslaught of wind and snow.
Snatches of live broadcasts from breathless reporters floated on the wind and
swirled around the crowd 200 strong. Just his way of preserving that stoic
reserve, Helen thought. She pulled her scarf tight around her neck and stuffed
both hands into her jacket pockets. Around them people stamped their feet in
the snowy field hard against the banks of Elkhart’s St. Joe River. “How much
longer?”
She
watched Jack look around the field. Police officers stood in small groups
talking quietly among themselves. Firefighters stayed near their rigs waiting
to put their exhaustive training to work. The silence spoke volumes. No
celebration here. “They told me it should happen about 4:10 pm.”
“My
God, Jack...”
Jack
nodded slowly. “I know, hon. It sucks.”
Helen
watched the crowd searching the northeastern sky. Some pointed. At what? She
checked her watch. Not yet. Too soon.
Jack
unzipped his backpack and pulled out binoculars. Helen had given him the

now—energy bars, extra gloves, socks, and the knit cap she knew Jack probably
wouldn’t wear. Summer or winter, he liked the feeling of the breeze on his shaven
head. “What?”
