Mrs. Barthelme's Madness
Monstrous trick of mad Illusion.

The flash of a hideously mask…the terrifying thud against the car…the girl's agonized cry. “He's dead! You killed my brother!”

The memory of the tragic night burned into Rachel's mind. How, could she explain the how the police could find no “accident” victim? Or why some screaming children in Halloween masks continue to haunt her, accusing her of murder?

Rachel Barthelme, like her husband, began to believe that she was losing her grip on reality. Only Police Lieutenant Sam Lomax refused to dismiss her story -- and she was beginning to fall in love with him.
