It looks like a burglary that went horribly wrong to most but George can see what others can't - that this was murder.THE PUZZLEAfter her political career ended, Peggy became a controversial blogger whose forthright opinions attracted a battalion of online trolls. And then there's her family: an unfaithful husband and a gambling-addicted son.
