Excerpt:
The wall was covered with sand and surf. Katherine was impressed by its realism. It was like seeing outside through floor to ceiling windows and there were portraits of four family members, all enjoying a day together at the beach.
Ida pointed at the signature on the lower right corner. “I was right. It's a Tracy Ryan painting of the family enjoying a sunny day at Bayside.”
Arturo viewed it, wide-eyed. “Magnifico. Who could cover this? It's a vibrant tribute to a loving heart.”
Katherine wondered, “Will you leave it uncovered?”
“Oh yes.”
Katherine searched the wall for any clue. Her shoulders sagged when she didn't see one. “What could have happened to her?”
Ida clasped her hands together. “I don't think we'll ever know.”
Brenda typed into her cell phone and put it back in her purse. “I'm going to check with the police department and see if they can re-open the cold case. Maybe with today's technology there's evidence we can now pursue.”
Katherine stepped up to the artist's self-portrait and whispered, “We'll do all we can to solve your mystery.”
