Book Preview: #1 The Lopers were homeward bound. They had traveled nearly 15,000 miles to adopt a two-year-old girl in Kazakhstan. They had spent their life savings and dealt with bureaucrats in three different countries, but now they had Alexandria.
#2 The unseasonably warm weather in Gander was all anyone could talk about. The mayor, Claude Elliott, liked to start his morning at Tim Horton’s, a Canadian equivalent of Starbucks.
#3 The mayor of Gander, Elliott, was making the morning rounds in his patrol car. He knew how important it was to keep in touch with what people were talking about. The local economy was another coffee-klatch topic.
#4 Fudge was sitting in his patrol car in the parking lot of the curling club when he heard about the radio broadcast. A plane had crashed into one of the towers in New York, possibly caused by an airplane crashing into the North Tower.
