Rain polished the empty promenade. Inspector Mara Voss arrived alone. Beneath the pier, gulls screamed. A violinist lay among seaweed. His white gloves remained spotless. No blood stained nearby sand. Mara knelt beside the body. One pocket held a seashell. The other contained her photograph.

It announced tomorrow’s midnight hour.
