Estelle dug into the deep pocket of her jacket and extracted a small white business card for a Toronto private investigator. When Inspector Hash had told her they were closing Amanda’s case, he’d offered Sam McNamara’s card.
She gnawed on the corner of her thumb and wondered if she really wanted to find Amanda. In a very dark place, she’d felt relieved when her religiously obsessed daughter had left home.
Picking at the white card, she walked around the house to the fields that lay beyond. In the south paddock, she could see the herd of wild horses. They seemed skittish, and she shaded her eyes against the sun’s glare and hunted for her dogs. They were lying on the deck, waiting for her return. The dogs had killed the rabbit, or it had won the game and escaped. Estelle whistled for them and spun the small card. Fine, she decided, she would hire Sam McNamara to locate her wayward daughter.
It occurred to her that Amanda might not want to come home, but it didn’t matter. Estelle would get what she wanted. After all, money was power, and power meant obedience.
