Robert Ellis: CITY OF FIRE, Chapter 5


Nikki & James Brant’s Bungalow
Los Angeles County, Early Morning

Lena has seen stab wounds like these while working narcotics. It’s called the juke, and is used by drug gangs who think the brutally will impress their friends. She and Novak show James Brant a photo of the victim’s face, confirming her ID as his wife, Nikki. The murder seems too bizarre, and Brant’s reaction, too real to suspect his involvement. The killer has to be a madman, some sort of freak. And Lena has no doubt that he will kill over and over again until he’s caught, or better yet, shot dead.
