“Dylan Ward” Re-emerges in Florida…and In Fiction We’ve long suspected the Swann Street threesome ceased living together in part or toto even before this Spring’s trial began.  There’s been hard evidence and strong suggestions that each of the three may have gone their separate ways.  If that’s truly the case, we shall say only mazel...
