The team entered Viv Paliotto’s apartment the same way they would come into a war zone. And it was a war zone—empty food containers piled on every flat surface, a freezer stuffed with ice cream, counters stacked with loaves of cheap white bread and store-brand peanut butter. Daphne headed for the bathroom, the bedroom. Something struck her as she turned slow circles in the middle of the room.

A double bed, and not pushed up against the wall on one side. But the tops of dressers, the margins of bookshelves, were swept curiously clean.

Daphne shouldered aside a SWAT officer and half-crouched, nose level with the top of the dresser.

Dust, and marks in it.

“Did she pack her photos?” Falkner, a half-step behind her.

“Looks like it,” Daphne said. “Car’s in the parking lot. But if she took these, she’s not coming back—”

She wasn’t yet sure herself what she might have said next. The shout from the kitchen interrupted it. She traded a glance with Falkner and they hustled side by side down the short hallway to the living room.

Lattimer and Todd were beside the electric range. Lattimer’s hand hovered over the surface.

“Warm,” he said. He pointed. “And the self-clean lock is on.”

Daphne looked at Todd. Todd looked at Falkner. Falkner said, “Somebody was incinerating something.”
