CHAPTER 18

Monday afternoon Paul stopped for a triple espresso at the Java Hut and skimmed the police reports regarding his new case, hunting for a direction. He was boiling about Eric Brinkman, but the boiling didn’t seem to have much rational basis. It was the boiling of upper altitudes, cooler than it appeared. He had seen Brinkman’s examination of Nina after he sat down, and it had made him extremely angry, and that was that, nothing to be done about it, unless Brinkman laid a hand on her, in which case he would—

He went back to his reports: autopsy reports on the two women, photos—Brenda’s wound primitive-looking, as if an animal, not a knife, had done it.

The knife had been strongly wielded rather than efficiently wielded. The murder scene didn’t look like the preferred place of someone who had committed similar crimes. Too risky.

Paul could not work this the way a cop would; he had neither the time nor the resources to be systematic. He needed to hit hard at the spikes, the things that jumped out at him, things that might open up.

Johnny Castro spiked first. He had been both the husband and manager of Miss Cyndi Amore, aka Cyndi Backus.
