Excerpt: Fletcher's Cove was an inlet tucked in the woods along the Potomac, about twelve minutes out of town at this time of night. Beside it there was a gravel parking lot and a boat rental spot, all inside the C&O Canal park. This late you could count on it being empty.

Main Themes:
Excerpt: Through a guarded gate, in a flash of white, he saw an old brick house on a hill. President Lincoln's Cottage. He had heard of this place but had never visited: Lincoln's summer home during the Civil War, where he drafted the Emancipation Proclamation. Now it was nestled on the grounds of the Old Soldiers' Home, a retirement village for veterans, surrounded by cemeteries and parks.

Main Themes:
Excerpt: Greg stood on the sidewalk outside DC General Hospital and pulled on his cigarette. This was the meeting site that he had given Peter and Rose. Ileana was keeping a lookout on the west side. The hospital had been abandoned years ago and was now surrounded by a chain-link fence. A host of community health service and other municipal buildings adjacent to it still seemed to be in operation, though their parking lots were empty on this weekend afternoon.
