The Chemistry of Death dh-1

Page 31

by Simon Beckett


  One way or another, we'd both been brought back to life.

  The crow flapped out of the tree as I reluctantly put away my phone. The clatter of its wings was loud in the crystalline silence. I watched it fly across the frozen Scottish moorland. But as bleak as it was, even now there were green shoots starting to push through the frozen earth, forerunners of the spring to come.

  I turned as a young policewoman approached, feet crunching on the frost. Above the dark coat, her face was white and shocked.

  'Dr Hunter? Sorry to keep you waiting. It's over here.'

  I followed her to the waiting group of officers, shook hands as introductions were made. They moved aside to let me approach the reason for the gathering.

  The body was lying in a hollow. I felt the familiar detachment start to take over as I took in its position, the texture of skin and blown wisps of hair.

  I stepped closer and set to work.
