Architect Roy Mackie's life is turned upside down when his twin brother Raymond passes away. As he tries to come to terms with his loss, his well-ordered life begins to come unraveled. A rare bottle of wine is found empty and discarded, and Roy doesn't remember drinking it. Personal items are found rooms away from where he's sure--almost sure--he left them. When Roy's son begins to question his father's sanity, Roy turns to the only person who can help: Ann Kinnear.
What Ann learns is not what she or Roy expected, and they join forces with a pair of charitable benefactors to defend Roy against the forces conspiring against him.
Angels, and ministers of grace, defend us!
Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn'd.
Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell.
Be thy intents wicked or charitable.
Thou com'st in such a questionable shape,
That I will speak to thee.
— William Shakespeare, "Hamlet"
An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.
