Nate knelt beside the dead girl. This wasn't his first homicide, it wasn't even the first dead prostitute he'd investigated. It wasn't the first strangling death he'd been assigned to.

Maybe she reminded him of his own daughter, Lizzie, who was only a few years younger. Maybe it was something else entirely.
