A different story to the one you have us used to, @johnjgeddes. From the very moment I saw the image of the post, I sensed that it was different. We see how the actions are accelerated to give him that rhythm of persecution. Although you're tackling the police genre, obviously you can't put aside your romantic air. I remember reading stories about you that have to do with investigations, but this one sounds different to me: I perceive a human policeman from the very moment he shudders at the death of the boy. A story that promises action, romance and a lot of adrenaline. A hug
Thanks, Nancy - People lament the sound of guns in my stories as I lament the world in which we live, but you're right, it's hard for me to suppress that romantic readiness for life :)
