R.S. Guthrie - Detective Bobby Mac 03 - Reckoning - Plot & Excerpts
Cindy Wu, our crime scene sketch artist, said as I crunched across the frozen ground of the small amphitheater with the Capitol Building rising above us like a mountain spire. “You, too. What’re we looking at, Cindy?” “Female victim. Uh, halved. Looks like she’s in her mid-teens: sixteen, seventeen. Always hard to tell with these young ones today. Heavy ligature marks on the throat, wrists, ankles. I’m putting my money on hanging as cause of death. The rest of the team is held up in a meeting. They’ll be here within the hour. Figure with the low temperatures the M.E. will need to get her back to the morgue anyway and thaw her to place T.O.D. Both sections are hard as stone.” “Jesus.” “Yeah. Worst I’ve seen on the job,” she said, going back to her measuring. “Me, too.” “The mouth is sliced from ear-to-ear.” The victim was cut in half so cleanly it was nearly surgical, meaning the murderer knew what he or she was doing. I wasn’t making any assumptions on this one.
