Walk Through the Valley (Psalm 23 Mysteries) Read Online Free PDF

to the precinct to ask him more questions. That’s all I can say.”
    She rolled her eyes. Mark would have given her more information. Maybe she would drop by the precinct later to see Liam and make sure he had everything he needed from her. Then she could try to get more information from him.
    “Let me know when it’s safe to leave,” she said.
    “It should be in a few minutes. If you are accosted by any members of the press, I’d greatly appreciate it if you didn’t tell them anything.”
    “I won’t,” she promised.
    “Jeremiah either.”
    “I can guarantee you that Jeremiah won’t say anything to the press,” she said.
    Jeremiah nodded agreement.
    “Thank you. I have to go.”
    He hung up and she returned the phone to her purse.
    “He wasn’t very helpful.”
    “You know, Cindy, you don’t have to get involved. It’s not up to you to solve this mystery.”
    “But I want to,” she said. It was true. She wasn’t sure when the need to solve mysteries had taken over. She was sure, though, that solving this one would give her something to think about other than the conversation she and Jeremiah had had earlier.
    He sighed. “Fine, but be smart about it and careful. Liam might like you, but he’s not Mark and with Mark away we don’t know exactly what he’ll do or how much of a hard line he’ll take about interference.”
    “I know, but with Mark gone, he’s definitely going to need an extra set of eyes trying to figure things out.”
    “How can you be so sure Henry is innocent?”
    “I can’t explain it other than I felt like I could relate to him,” Cindy said.
    “You know setting himself up like that, almost like someone was framing him, would be the smart move for a politician to make,” he pointed out.
    “Yeah, but as far as I can tell there hasn’t been a hint of scandal around him at all. Why create some?”
    “Publicity?” he suggested.
    She shook her head. “I hate politics and even I know who he is thanks to his Walk Campaign.”
    Jeremiah pulled his phone out of his pocket and fiddled with it for a minute. He nodded, apparently having found what it was he was looking for.
    “Well?” she asked.
    “The Walk campaign came about because Henry said that the problem with politicians was twofold. First, that they had never walked a mile in their constituents’ shoes and second, that they only seemed to know or care about the needs of a few parts of the state while ignoring the vast majority of it. He asked how anyone could hope to govern the state without understanding it and the problems faced by all its inhabitants. When a rival challenged him to prove that he was any different, he declared that he was going to walk down the length of the entire state so that he could meet people from different areas and hear their concerns firsthand.”
    “He started up north, so he’s come a long ways already,” she said.
    “Ambitious. And you’re right, it has gotten him a lot of publicity and notoriety. He’s speaking about the troubles in the state and how they’re going to get worse if we don’t take a stand and face them head on. The farther he walks the more the polls seem to be swinging in his favor.”
    “Which could explain why someone would be interested in framing him for murder,” Cindy said.
    Jeremiah shook his head. “If he was being framed, don’t you think the real killer would have left the murder weapon somewhere nice and conspicuous?”
    It was a good point, but she didn’t want to admit it.
    Jeremiah returned his eyes to his screen, clearly reading up more on the politician while she studied her hands. She just couldn’t believe that the stricken man she had seen had killed that poor woman.
    The question was, who could have? The man was sure to have enemies, political ones at the very least.
    Her phone rang again and she wondered if it was Liam telling them that the coast was clear. She pulled her phone out of her purse and glanced at the screen.
    “It’s my
