The rain had not stopped for three days. Detective Mara Voss stood alone outside the manor. Yellow tape fluttered across the iron gate like tired ribbons. Inside, the housekeeper sobbed quietly into a damp handkerchief. Someone had left the library window open all night. Mara noticed muddy footprints leading toward the carriage house. Each print pointed away from the body, not toward it. Her partner, Detective Jonas Reed, arrived with two steaming coffees. He handed one to her without speaking. Together they climbed the wide, creaking staircase slowly. At the top, a single candle still burned. Its flame bent toward an open bedroom door. Beyond that door lay Lord Ashworth, motionless upon the rug.
