The Wife He Threw Away
was a name in the file.
The file I had built piece by piece over the years.
The file that contained every loose thread, every unresolved incident, every person who had circled too close to Eva Sterling and never walked away clean. Every person Eva had destroyed, as well as the persons who had aided her.
August Ramon was the doctor.
He was in it. Not central, not obvious, but present. Connected. An associate of Eva’s.
He was someone who had appeared just often enough within the perimeter of Eva’s past situations to be noted—but never proven.
