It had been a rather mundane shift for Duncan Ovangle, the friendly neighbourhood detective. Nothing special, until this arrived on his desk that was. A horribly mutilated corpse of a woman in her mid-twenties, wearing nothing but a necklace, her skull crushed by some manner of blunt object in what looked like an attempted mugging. Most muggers didn’t take a person’s clothes though, giving Duncan an awry feeling that there was something else at work here. The necklace looked valuable too, so why didn’t the mugger take that?
