COLE

Shaw has killed again.

He might have done it out of anger at losing his bid for Corona

Heights. But the body wasn’t found in a state of mutilated rage. She was

posed like Flaming June, something that was hushed up in the papers but

TruCrime managed to splash across its site in full-color photographs.

The cold calculation of the slaying disturbs me far more than Shaw’s usual

lustful rage.

The girl is dark-haired, slim, beautiful. The close-up photographs show one

pale hand with roughly-bitten fingernails. Two of those fingers missing

entirely.

It’s the only mark of brutality on an otherwise pristine body. Not a single tear

on her flowing orange gown. Her face lovely and unmarked, eyes closed with

a gentleness that might be sleep.

Even more disquieting, Hawks doesn’t come calling in the aftermath of her

death. Instead, I see his unmarked car trailing mine when I drive from the

studio to Corona Heights. I see his tall, upright figure lingering on Clay

Street.

He knows I see him. He wants me to know.

He isn’t following Shaw.
