LATER THAT AFTERNOON, Turnbull called MacNeice from the coroner’s office. It turned out that, as he had guessed, the fragment from the drain was from the body of Sergeant Hughes. They’d failed to find DNA on the hedge trimmer but the cutting pattern matched. Junior had had way too much fun experimenting with a coconut, a plastic skull and a pig’s skull—all of which proved inconclusive. Finally he’d tried slicing bone from a donor corpse, and the saw marks were identical. MacNeice hung up the phone. Bikers and concrete companies. What was the connection? He got up, went over to the whiteboard and picked up a marker. Under the photos of Hughes, he erased the likely and then underlined murdered in the D2D barn, Cayuga. “Whoa, boss, that’s gonna have an impact on Swetsky’s investigation,” Williams said. “No doubt. Michael, where do the concrete suppliers get their material?” “Well, ABC-Grimsby has a huge quarry, and they supply Mancini as well—though Alberto Mancini didn’t mention that.”
