Chapter 1
Prologue
On a beautiful Sunday in May, families drifted to the Boston Public Garden to take their children for a Swan Boat ride along the pond. The irregularly shaped pond wound across four acres, sparkling in the sun from any point in the park. The Swan Boats, historic foot-pedaled vessels guided by drivers, glided along in the mild spring breeze, deepening the peace and tranquility of the park, providing the sense that all was right with the world, and always would be.
This morning, however, as soon as the ride opened, a loud shriek suddenly sounded mercilessly from one of the boats, echoing over the pond. The terrified driver stood tall on the boat’s edge, frantically waving his hands for help. Other boats stopped moving, and a crowd started to gather, as clouds of fear descended over the families who had come to revel in the beautiful day. They all wanted to get close, to see what the commotion was, what could possibly ruin their perfect harmony.
And as the crowds thickened, pressing in on the boat, people jockeying for position, finally, the sight revealed itself. A child on the boat had tripped. And as he stood, he looked down in terror.
It was the corpse of a young, beautiful woman, mangled beyond recognition. She lay on the floor of the boat, staring up at the sky, as if to ask one simple question: how could this ever happen here?
