What's with Vicky Hallinan? Who is she specifically? In the prologue, Sam sees Vicky's face before she dies. A few things were mentioned about her in that part. However, throughout the whole book it was never clear to me. Her story was never mentioned again after the prologue, only her name. Note: I'm assuming that it is not really Vicky's face that Sam sees but her own face. But still, I want answers, ideas...
