Running Woman

by Patricia Carlon

A fair-haired woman in white is observed running from Larapinta Creek Bridge; soon after, the body of a girl is found, drowned. Did she fall or was she pushed? Suspicions in the quiet Australian community point to a pretty blonde, Gabriel Endicott, a widow living alone by the creek. Gabriel’s efforts to dissuade the police and neighbors only arouse more doubt as to her innocence, even in those who most want to believe in her.
