From the inside cover: "She rummaged around in her flight bag for her hairbrush. She touched something sharp and, surprised, shrieked. Pulling her hand out, she saw a tiny streak of blood on her finger...
Reaching in again, she was very cautious. She felt the handle first. Then she fingered the cold metal. And then she felt fear. Real, paralyzing fear.
'Oh, my God,' she said out loud, pulling it out.
Her hands trembling, she began to look around. Then she withdrew it from the flight bag. It slipped out of her hands and dropped to the floor, the 'clunk' reverberating throughout her silent apartment. She looked down, shaking...
It was a butcher's knife."
