Boris Williamson has just passed away suddenly.
Friends and family arrive at the house, the wake, along with his grieving widow.
Outside the rain keeps falling nonstop.
Everything proceeds normally until suddenly a very loud thunder sounds outside the house and ... the light goes out.

The wake is a story from the Suspense and Intrigue Stories collection, a series of stories written by the author in tribute to the Mistress of suspense Agatha Christie.

Note on the author:
Erika Sanders is an internationally known writer who signs her most erotic writings, away from her usual prose, with her maiden name.
