However she comes with a nanny, whose job it is to ease them into parenthood.

Advertising director Charles Schine is just another New York commuter, regularly catching the 8.43 to work. But the day he misses his train is the day that changes his life. Catching the 9.05 instead, he can't help but be drawn by the sight of the person opposite. Charles has never cheated on his wife in eighteen years of marriage.

Liczbę ofiar ustalono na osiemset dziewięćdziesiąt dwie, poprawiając ją z ośmiuset dziewięćdziesięciu trzech po tym, jak w dole rzeki znaleziono żywą trzyletnią dziewczynkę. Dowiedziałem się o tym, przeglądając mikrofilmy w „Littleton Journal” wkrótce po tym, jak Hinch mnie zatrudnił, ale zanim jeszcze dostałem coś konkretnego do roboty. To, że stare numery były wciąż na mikrofilmach, a...
