Robert Ellis: CITY OF FIRE, Chapter 10
"Sixteen hours ago Nikki Brant stood five feet two
inches tall and weighed ninety-eight and one-quarter pounds. Now her small body
was laid out on a cold sheet of stainless steel, the ultimate violation
complete. Lena watched Lamar Newton take what would be the last photograph of
the young woman. When the flash of light died out, the medical examiner moved
in, pushing her chest cavity back together and lacing the child-like body up
with a heavy black twine as if she were nothing more than an old, worn-out
shoe."
