Chapter 8 - The ExhumationDetective Miller received the call.
The county medical examiner had approved an exhumation of Clara Vance's remains.
Victoria's knees nearly buckled.
“No.”
Miller looked at her.
“If digitalis was involved, modern toxicology may still reveal evidence.”
Victoria shook her head.
“You can't do this.”
“We already have probable cause.”
Mark stared at her.
For eight months, he had lived with questions.
Why had Clara died so suddenly?
Why had she complained of nausea the night before?
Why had Victoria been the last person to make her tea?
Why had the original toxicology report contained unexplained abnormalities?
Now every unanswered question was becoming evidence.
Victoria whispered:
“You'll never prove it.”
Detective Miller looked at the digitalis bottles.
“We don't have to prove it today.”

He paused.
“We just have to keep following the evidence.”
