She wished something would happen. Something
good. To her. Looking at the bright, fuzzy
picture in the magazine, she thought, Something
like that. Checking her wish for loopholes, she
found one. Hoping it wasn't too late, she
thought the word soon.

city of Philadelphia.

No one noticed that the church bells were tolling
more often than usual to announce one death, and
then another. They rang for Dr. Hugh Hodge's
little daughter, for Peter Aston, for John
Weyman, for Mary Shewell, and for a boy named
McNair. No one knew that a killer was already
moving through their streets with them, an
invisible stalker that would go house to house
until it had touched everyone, rich or poor, in
some terrible way.
