Laura Holden and Brian had been dating for several months now. As they walked hand in hand out of the local Outback restaurant, Laura smiled a wan smile, “Brian, I hope that the Frome case won’t hurt your career.

Daniel Frome was yelling into the telephone at some poor underling when he died of an instant heart attack at his desk.
