Fault Lines
“Femur thought he looked like a man acutely aware of danger but determined not to show it. So far they had been covering what Spinel could remember about the Kingsford Rapist’s first known victim, and whether he might have inadvertently passed on any details of the scene to an outsider. He didn’t think it likely, but the whole case was so long ago that he couldn’t say for sure.
Caroline Lyalt had already established with the woman herself that Spinel had interviewed her soon after she’d been... seen by the doctor on the night of the rape, and that she’d told him everything that had happened to her. At first she hadn’t liked Spinel, Caroline reported, but after a bit she’d warmed to him. She appreciated the way he’d been so angry with the rapist, she said.
Some of the other officers, even some of the women, had been lovely and sympathetic, but they hadn’t seemed to feel much either way about the man who’d attacked her. Spinel, Constable Spinel he’d been then, had let her see his fury and told her how he’d wanted to beat the man to a pulp.MoreLess
