NIGHT SHIFT NOTES

Detectives Loretta and David Smitty uncover new links between Rae Childress—first introduced in The Dollmaker of Point—and the escalating Operator case in Point, Texas. Now confined to Terrell State Hospital, Rae produces a disturbing drawing that places Simon Radford at the Unmasking Evil Motel. As the Smittys follow the trail, the connections between Rae’s past and Radford’s presence grow harder to dismiss.
