CHAPTER 3 — THE OLD MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Sadie couldn't stop thinking about the elderly man she'd seen behind the living-room window.
Detectives identified him two days later.
His name was Walter Brooks.
He had lived in Gregory's home for nearly six months.
Officially...
He was "renting a room."
Unofficially...
He was hiding.
When detectives interviewed him, Walter burst into tears.
"I've waited thirty-two years for someone to survive Gregory."
Then he revealed something horrifying.
Sadie wasn't the first child Gregory had attacked.
She was simply the first who lived long enough to expose him.
Walter had once been Gregory's business partner.
He had witnessed decades of abuse.
And he had kept every document.

Including one sealed envelope.
"This belongs to Sadie."
