...this extra furniture does not clutter up the simple romance plot. After an absence of 18 years, Tory (for Victoria) Bodeen returns to Progress, S.C., the small town that she and her parents left in questionable circumstances when she was eight. The event that led to their departure was the rape-murder of Tory's best friend, Hope Lavelle. Thanks to her psychic gift, Tory told Hope's parents, the wealthy owners of Beaux Reves estate, that their daughter was dead and where the body could be found...

The Friday shooting came a day after Raad had begun to present Nawaz's defense, arguing that the coup plot against him originated after he met with President Clinton last June and agreed to withdraw Pakistani forces who had crossed into Indian territory at Kargil in the disputed territory of Kashmir. Pakistan's military was widely reported to have fiercely opposed the decision to retreat...
