Purple marks stained the ivory flesh of the young victim’s neck. DNA forensic technicians hustled around her with their swabs and evidence bottles.
My partner Isobel raised an eyebrow in an unspoken question.
“DNA will confirm it, but it’s him.”
Isobel sucked in a breath. “Adam Knowles. Been killing ten years, but not a hint of where he is.”
I knew where he was. Twelve years since I killed him and placed a sample of my DNA labelled with his name in the database.
The victim’s final screams played in my memory as I, Detective Richard Morrison, guided the investigation.
