Chapter 3: The Survivor

Five weeks after the Indiana murders of Katherine Herbers and Howard Fisher, two more lovers are interrupted while trysting on a lonely road in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. This time, one of them survives.

The murderer leaves a survivor--and also a witness who lives a life of secrets...secrets that stayed uncovered for nearly a century, until now.
