The Letters

Rachel Hamar-a Manhattan bank teller-lives nothing close to a Manhattan lifestyle. Residing in Washington Heights NY the only thing keeping her in The Big Apple is her mother-a long-time patient in a local psychiatric hospital. Its December 2014 and the twentieth anniversary of her high school sweethearts tragic death. Shes not sure how much more heartache she can endure especially after being told earlier in the day she no longer has a job at the bank. A casualty of downsizing.In the midst of spiraling depression Rachel receives a mysterious letter in the mail. When she opens it she becomes cautious and skeptical of its contents and discards it as a mistake concluding its simply addressed incorrectly or a postal workers faux pas in the midst of a busy Christmas season. But another letter arrives the next day. And another the day after that. Before long she is in possession of several letters. Each one more puzzling than the last.Thinking that someone may be playing a cruel game she contacts the police and this propels Rachel and the two detectives into one of the most bizarre cases theyve ever encountered. Is it a friends cruel joke? Is it some stalkers perverse idea of manipulation? Or is it something more?
