BLURB:
Sure,
Ron Green had made a mistake, but it wasn't one that millions of other guys
hadn't made before him. And maybe he deserved some sort of punishment, like his
wife leaving him or his kids hating his guts. But this? Being the main suspect
in a single murder was bad enough, but at the same time knowing he was a
potential victim of a serial killer was even worse. However, before Green could
convince the cops of his innocence, he first had to convince them the serial
killer actually existed, and at the moment they weren't believing a thing he
said.

Hollis fell
silent as the ME went about her business although even he could pretty much
guess what had happened. With no exit wound, the small caliber bullet had no
doubt buried itself somewhere inside the skull, probably after ricocheting
around for a while.
“So how many does this make?” she asked
without looking up. “Have you all hit the triple digits yet?”
“Actually,”
he said, “we passed the hundred mark at the end of last month. I’m not sure
what number this one makes.”
“Well,” the
ME said as she stood up and stripped off her gloves, “I won’t be able to put
anything down officially till I get him on the table, but it’s pretty obvious
what happened here.”
“One bullet
back of the head,” Hollis said.
“Right. Which
gets back to the oddity.”
“How did he
end up lying face up?”
“Exactly. Even a .22, in the back of the
skull, should have sent him tumbling forward. This looks almost apologetic.
Could it have been some sort of a robbery?”
“That’s the
nice thing about it, Hollis. My part’s easy. I just have to come up with the
means. You guys get to do the whole motive and opportunity thing.”
Hollis
grimaced as she walked off.
“Oh by the
way.” She turned back to him. “I checked with the office before I left. This
makes number one hundred twelve for the year. And only sixteen days to go.”
