“Possibly, but the angle at which he was lying makes that theory impossible and besides there could not fail to be traces of blood on the marble of the seat.” “Unless they were washed away?” The doctor shrugged his shoulders. “That is hardly likely. It would be to no one’s advantage to give an accident the appearance of murder.” “Quite so,” I acquiesced. “Who found the body?” “Nikki Fritz.” “The actress?” “Former actress.” Dr Madsen corrected. “She is now engaged to Tristan Danvers.” “Lord Danvers?”

‘But if ye squeeze any harder, I’m not goin’ to be much use to man nor beast. ‘Sorry,’ Agnes said relinquishing her embrace and stepping back. She nodded gratefully to Albert and Dennis who stood patiently behind Maud, like two aged sentinels waiting for instruction. ‘So what’s goin’ on?’ Maud asked. ‘I’ll show you,’ the librarian said turning and escorting her friend to the Historical Romance section. The bookcase was now cleared of books. Beyond the frame, Maud could see a dark diagonal scar in a wall painted in magnolia.

Marvin spontaneously exuded, racing off as well to which Elsie dashed after him. Getting to the entrance of the library, they snuggled their way through the massive crowd who were groaning and moaning over whatever they had witnessed. On encountering what it was, Marvin instinctively halted in his track, unable to move; his eyes wide with shock and his knees suddenly felt numb as he slum to the floor- right beside Elosie's motionless body. For a moment, his voice failed him and he felt his tongue stuck to the top of his mouth as he stared at the body with eyes which danced with unshed tears. Elsie couldn't hold back her pain and anguish as she welled over her friend's body. Just then, a note

His eyes were sharp, assessing, the eyes of a cop who had spent his life reading people. "You brought him." Alex walked past him, toward the door. "He's with me." Cole's hand caught his arm. "This scene—it's bad, Marchetti. Worse than the warehouse. Worse than anything you've seen." Alex pulled free. "I've seen plenty." He pushed the door open. --- The gallery was a single room, white walls, high ceilings, track lighting that cast long shadows across the floor. In the center of the room, spotlit like a piece of art, was a body.

Whether that should concern me or not, I am unsure. Twenty minutes later, I am alone in the library, rifling through huge stacks of books. Elle has left one huge volume out. The beige parchment page refers to a blue-eyed, violent iris male who is always fooled. I pick at a spot of dried blood on the page. It must be Marcus’.

Vincent knocked once, then opened them without waiting for a response. "Miss Marcellus, sir." The library was vast, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that stretched up to a second level accessible by rolling ladders. Leather-bound volumes filled every inch of space, their spines catching the light from crystal chandeliers. It was the kind of room that belonged to a man who collected knowledge the way others collected stamps. And there, seated behind a desk that looked like it had been carved from a single piece of dark wood, was Caspian Santoro.

With her Umbrella crashing into everyone’s faces, and clutching her microphone, she fired with full ammunition upon Nash. “Kylie Marrow for London Wharf reporting, a body has been found, ripped to pieces in Mayfair this evening. Witnesses are yet to confirm where the body came from, but cult groups are already gathering, in pure belief that this is the beginning of the end. The body believed to be a young woman is the fourth……” Suddenly in one smooth movement, Nash propelled his body forward, pushing the reporter and her umbrella into the crowd that had emerged behind her. Detective Inspector Smith shook his head violently

Scarlett was gone. I could still feel the tug in my chest, though it burned less hot now than it had before. Grabbing Marla’s hand I yanked her along behind me, not saying a word. What was there to say? We ended up at the library. I looked down at the map, still open on my phone in my hand, and up at the building. It was the library. The very same one. “This is so fucking weird,” Marla muttered. “Yeah, I know.”

And she never smiled. Until Thursday night. The library was nearly empty. Only a few grad students whispered in corners. Rain tapped at the arched windows. Miles was shelving books in the restricted reference section when he heard it A low, deliberate cough. He turned.
