Rylie squinted in the morning sun, which was just coming up as they pulled to mile marker 101, in the town of Boles. She jumped out of the passenger side of the truck and ran to it. Of course, the crime had happened almost a year ago. There was nothing to see.

“What, exactly, were you hoping to find?” Brisbane asked, coming up behind her.

“Shh,” she said, turning in a slow circle. “I’m trying to see . . .”

He shoved his hands into the pockets of his slacks. “You hoping to get psychic vibes?”

She glared at him. “No. But I thought there could be a clue.”

“It happened months ago—”

“I know. But there could’ve been something about this location that was similar to where Darla McCrea was found. Something that made the killer choose these mileposts out of all the others.”

He squinted. “Well, they’re both odd numbers.”

She turned to him, trying to gauge if he was serious. “And?”

“Sixty-seven. One-oh-one. Yeah.” He scratched his chin and pointed to the sign up a little farther, that said Route 86.

“So . . . what are you saying? The guy’s a math geek? That’s stupid.”

Brisbane shrugged. “Yeah, it might be stupid. But right now, other than that one footnote in that crappy report that said the victim was ‘strung up on a milepost,’ it looks like the only connection we have.”

A flimsy one, for sure. But he was right. She’d brought along the file for Nancy Sharpe and scoured it on the ride there, but there was very little information. It could’ve simply been a coincidence. So there really was no evidence that this was a serial killing, or that whoever murdered Darla McCrea would strike again. That meant that this crime, along with the dozens of others committed along this length of road, was destined to go on the books as unsolved.

Her gut wrenched at the thought.

She stalked over to the milepost and inspected it. It looked new, shiny, as if it’d recently been replaced. “Dammit!” she cried suddenly, clenching her hands into fists. “Why did those idiot cops not do their job? If they’d handled this correctly, maybe we’d have something to go on.”

“Maybe,” Brisbane agreed, moving slightly to allow her to pace up and down the shoulder. She always paced when she needed to think, and she didn’t want anyone in her way. It was nice to know he was starting to understand that about her.

“They’re such idiots,” she grumbled to no one in particular.

“Yeah, well, you might want to keep the idiot talk to a minimum because here comes one of them now.”

She looked up. Sure enough, a squad car was pulling to the shoulder behind them. She watched the man who stepped out, already judging him harshly, though he didn’t look like the raving moron she’d accused him of being. He was well-dressed, trim, and even handsome, for an older, fifty-something man, wearing the uniform of the Wyoming Highway Patrol. He looked over the truck and called to them, “Can I call you a tow?”

Brisbane flashed his badge.
