Robert Ellis: CITY FOR FIRE, Chapter 20


Police Headquarters, Downtown LA …
 
Lena shows her partner Hank Novak and Lt. Barrera the crossword puzzle and the disc of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony she found in the death house, the implications ominous. The husband who confessed to killing his wife a month ago could be innocent. James Brant failed his polygraph but could be innocent as well. The coroner claims that Nikki Brant wasn’t raped. DNA results from the semen found at the house won’t be in until tomorrow afternoon. Then Lena shows them the meds she found by the victim's bed. Lena offers a new theory in all its horror. She tells Novak and her lieutenant that she thinks Nikki took a medication and became drowsy. In the beginning she thought she was having sex with her husband. When she realized she was in bed with a stranger, the killer’s knife was out, and it was way too late!
