§PROLOGUEThe smell hit her first.
Antiseptic and something colder, the sterile bite of refrigerated air.
Meredith Calloway stood in the morgue of St. Augustine Medical Center, the silence a heavy blanket broken only by the low hum of ventilation.
Her husband, Garrett Ramsey, lay on a stainless-steel gurney, his body covered by a stark white sheet.
Gone.
The word was a flat, dull thud in her mind.
A doctor had pronounced it just an hour ago, the culmination of a year-long battle that had hollowed out their lives.
