Part of Prologue Page 2
He hadn’t been called to the scene, but as soon as he heard about it he had to see for himself. His first case, so many years ago, had found him standing on this very stretch of beach. Thought that time it had been the body of a young girl that had gone over the edge. Not a woman;not a mother.
He remembers it like yesterday, but then dead bodies are still a rare occurrence in Clearwater. Incidents like this are a shock to the community, just like the one all those years ago had been.
As he reaches his car, he pauses and looks back at the cliffs, wondering if anyone else at the station will be asking themselves the question that he is taunting himself with. Could they have known something like this might happen?
Three weeks ago Grace Goodwin had stood in the station and tried to report a crime, but the officers she spoke with had refused to believe she was right to be worried. And yet his first call this morning hadn’t been to wish him Happy New Year, but to tell him there was a dead body.
