Prized Possessions

by L.R. Wright

Overview

When Emma O’Brea's husband, Charlie, disappears, it quickly becomes apparent that Emma was the only person in Canada who didn’t recognize how desperate he had been to leave. Eddie Addison is an overgrown delivery boy dangerously obsessed with a pretty young student. Eddie and Emma would seem to have little in common, but when Inspector Karl Alberg is called in to solve the riddle of Charlie’s vanishing act, the two sets of disturbing delusions begin to converge.
