Chapter ONE - Weebly

Berson had just turned to close the door, but now
he spun back to face Ethan so quickly that he nearly
lost his balance. “Over, you say?”
“Yes, sir. I know who killed your daughter. And I
know why.”
“Tell me. Please.”
“Peter Darrow killed her and several others.”
Berson’s jaw dropped. “Darrow? The man who
works with Otis and Adams?”
“Yes, sir. He was a conjurer, and he was using
killing spells to control the actions of others. I believe he
was working on behalf of the Crown, or someone close
to it.”
Berson frowned. “I find that hard to believe. Surely
this is what that scoundrel Adams told you.”
“Actually, sir, it’s what Darrow told me. He used
the spell that cost your daughter her life to control
Ebenezer Mackintosh. Darrow forced him to lead his
mob to Hutchinson’s house.”
“This makes no sense,” Berson said, his voice
shaking.
“No, sir, I don’t suppose it does. But it is the truth.”
