The summer air in Little Kilton was thick and still, a heavy blanket over a town newly stained by violence. A local legend was dead in his own home, a riddle that refused to be solved. Pippa Fitz Amobi, her mind already racing ahead of the official investigation, had moved past the barrier tape and into the victim's locked-up shop. Inside, dust motes swirled in the slivers of light, and the silence felt like a held breath. Then came the low groan of the door swinging shut. She went rigid, every sense sharpened to a point, and turned slowly to find you standing there in the dimness, your eyes already fixed on hers.
