Each stair riser was decorated with a different doll. Some of them were yarn-haired rag dolls in calico<br />

dresses,<br />

and others were baby dolls with hard china heads and eyes that closed when they were laid flat. Emily<br />

averted her eyes. She’d never been <strong>on</strong>e to play with dolls like other girls—they’d always kind of freaked<br />

her<br />

out.<br />

Isaac pushed through a door at the end of the hall. “Voilà.” There was a striped spread <strong>on</strong> the double<br />

bed in<br />

the corner, three guitars <strong>on</strong> stands, and a small desk with a new iMac. “Very nice,” Emily said.<br />

Then she noticed a large white object <strong>on</strong> top of the dresser. “You have a phrenology head!” She walked<br />

over<br />

to the big mold of a skull and traced her fingers over the words that were written across the head. Guile.<br />

Forethought. Avarice. Victorian doctors thought they could determine a pers<strong>on</strong>’s character simply by<br />

the<br />

lump was elsewhere, he was very religious. Emily w<strong>on</strong>dered what her head bumps said about her.<br />

Isaac walked over to her. “Remember that aunt I told you about when we got Chinese last week? The<br />

<strong>on</strong>e<br />

who’s into horoscopes and stuff? She got this for me at a flea market.” He touched a spot <strong>on</strong> Emily’s<br />

skull.<br />

“Hmm, you feel very bumpy.” He glanced at the phrenology head. “According to this, you’re really good<br />

at<br />

giving affecti<strong>on</strong>…or you make others want to give you affecti<strong>on</strong>. I can never remember whi ch.”<br />

“Very scientific,” Emily teased. She touched the top of his head, feeling for a bump. “And you’re…” She<br />

leaned back, searching the ceramic head for an appropriate quality. The thief. The mimic. The murderer.<br />

Rosewood PD needed <strong>on</strong>e of these heads—they could massage every cranium in town and find Ali’s<br />

murderer
