SILENT SHOCK: Those Little Pink Pills | #RetroRadio

“Silent Shock”: She rented the house for the view — for the ageless, indifferent sea outside every window, for the poems she planned to write, for the phone calls to the men she used to love. But the housekeeper wasn't a housekeeper. The groundsman wasn't a groundsman. The little pink pills weren't vitamins. And somewhere out past the fog, a great white ship was drifting closer to shore… carrying the one man she'd been waiting fifteen years to kill. | #RetroRadio EP0638
