      Prologue

      The information was out in the open again.

      She had been told it wouldn’t be found, that it was buried for good. With her help, they’d managed to cover everything up.

      Why had she done it?

      She should have let them take their chances, but at the time, it had seemed like the right thing to do. The right way to go.
