Shadow's Edge
“She was also gagged and blindfolded, her arms and legs bound so tightly with rope the skin beneath was chafed and bleeding. It wasn’t the only part of her that bled. The long, cross-shaped gouge they carved in her upper arm with the tip of a hunting knife was still bleeding freely and throbbing.

Her arms were tied behind ...her back, her knees were drawn up against her chest, her body was racked with uncontrollable shivering.

It also meant they had been waiting, watching, all the while right under their noses.MoreLess
