of the story, as befits a plot that includes murder. The dog would give a feeling of sweetness and work against that, unless is was a cringing cur or a slinking wolf. As it is, the picture tells a story: pretty young woman, alone and apprehensive, in a creepy, dangerous place.

You know, I never thought of it that way. A puppy would indeed be a wrong note in this cover. The story it tells is exactly right, barring the "pretty" part, because poor Barbara was... well, as far as her looks went she had a charming personality. Heh.

THE RED LILY CROWN: A Novel of Medici Florence.THE FLOWER READER.THE SECOND DUCHESS.     Paul and Sarena Haddad owned a house at 37780 McKenzie Court in Farmington Hills,

Michigan. In 2002, the Haddads had two mortgages on this property—one to ABN AMBRO for
Case No. 13-2492
Haddad v. Randall S. Miller Assoc., PC

$300,700 and another to Oakland Commerce Bank for $95,000. In 2003, Anthony Taratuta, a

loan officer at Standard Federal Bank, contacted Paul to discuss a promotional, low-interest

mortgage with him.1 After Paul completed an application, Taratuta told him that he had been

approved for a $400,000 loan. Paul went to close the loan by himself. Taratuta explained that

Paul could sign not only for himself but also for his wife and the witnesses on the loan

documents, so Paul did. Standard Federal Bank recorded the mortgage in the Oakland County

Register of Deeds.
