Poison City (2016)
“The whiteboard wall is filling up with photographs. The ramanga, the kraal where he was killed, Armitage’s body, her lounge, the killer’s face.
Down one side of the board are notes written in Parker’s neat handwriting. Red lines drawn between the photographs detail definite connections, while blue lines denote possible connections we haven’t managed to confirm yet.
Parker is already here, adding the photographs of the second sin-eater from the Oyster Box Hotel. I sit down and yawn as Armitage strolls in and glances at the board.
‘Bloody hell, people. A little empathy wouldn’t go amiss. Do I have to be on the board?’ ‘You’re part of the case,’ Parker points out.
‘Well . . . cover my face or something, will you? I don’t want to stare into my own dead eyes first thing in the morning.’ ‘I suppose you got enough of that looking in the mirror when you were alive,’ I say.
Armitage throws a whiteboard marker at me. I dodge but I’m not quick enough. It hits me in the ear.
