“I JUST GOT OFF THE phone with Lucas Kreskie, Andrea. Owen Lafferty’s death just moved from suspicious to homicide. He’s confirming that blunt force trauma Lafferty suffered to the head was the cause of the hemorrhaging that resulted in the man’s death. Sheriff Crane suspected the trauma but her crew didn’t find a murder weapon on the scene.”
The Deputy DA winced. She picked a file up off the top of the pile on the right side of her desk, opened it, then looked back at her boss who still stood in the frame of her door. “Are you telling me I’ve got my first big case?”
“You’ve got it. Ready?”
“As I’ll ever be.”
“I’ll do everything I can to support you,” Devon Willis said, “but, remember, I’ve got my hands pretty full right now too.”
Andrea dipped her head in acknowledgment.
“I suggest you get with Crane, get up to speed with everything her department has so far.”
