Farley Newstone walked briskly up Northland, glowering at his shadow, angry at himself for risking Stockton’s wrath by leaving despite orders. And what did he have to show for it? Nothing. At least, nothing tangible he could take back to his dreams.

He had arrived at the house unannounced as usual, but to his complete amazement, Charlotte had not been pleased to see him. She was clearly on the verge of asking him to leave, and he’d been forced to show her the contents of his purse.

Friendly enough, then, but something less than enthusiastic.

The little whore, in fact, had just about tossed him out the door once he’d finished dressing. And the way things were going now, he thought sourly, Lucas would be waiting for\ him at the station, ready to make good his promise and tear off his ears.

His pace quickened past the wooded lot between the Crenshaws and the Drummonds. The wind stirred, the moon high and bloated, and he knew there’d be rain before midnight had passed. A good thing too, he thought, idly scanning the silvered trees; people would get their tempers back, making his job a lot simpler.

He smelled the blood before he saw the body — acrid, wrinkling his nose, forcing him to cover his mouth with a palm while he peered into the grey shadows . . . and saw the mangled leg sticking out from beneath a shrub.

Warily, one hand on his nightstick while he swallowed hard and fast, he stepped into the underbrush, jumping when thunder began rumbling again.

Then lightning ripped across the moon, and he saw with a gasp what was left of Jerad Pendleton.
