In Too Deep (Knight & Culverhouse Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
Getting clearance to search a crime scene was particularly slow at times, and this case was no exception. Only once the Scenes of Crime Officers had finished combing the front doorstep area was it cleared for CID officers to enter and search the house. It was a constant frustration to CID that they were often unable to enter a scene and look for evidence immediately, but unfortunately this procedure was a necessity. Not only was there the possibility that they could contaminate the scene or destroy minute pieces of evidence — fingerprints, specks of blood, single hairs — but when the case got to court, the defence lawyer could have it thrown out within seconds if there was any doubt as to the legitimacy of the evidence. It really wasn’t a risk that was worth taking. Tanya Henderson’s house looked just like any other of its type. It was definitely a lived-in family home, but it had been kept clean, neat and tidy. The kids’ toys had been put away, save for one or two that were left out in the living room, and the remote control sat jauntily on the arm of the leather sofa, where it had been resting since its last user had pressed the red ‘off’ button.
