“Another Christmas spent in my company, Detective Watts,” Violet remarked, glancing up from the paperwork spread across the morgue table.

Llewellyn smirked at the memory of a long-ago Christmas—a night spent telephoning half the city in search of a lost puppy’s owner. “What have we learned about our unfortunate gentleman?”

After hours of meticulous work, Violet concluded the autopsy. Her discoveries now pointed them closer to the truth.

“Detective, may I offer you some tea? It has to be snowing outside.”

“And would you, by any chance, also have—”

“Pastries? I do.”

Violet was prepared for his visits. Llewellyn smiled.
