Inspector Lambert squatted next to the body, the worn heels of his shoes tucked beneath his buttocks as he leaned to move a lock of hair with his pen. The side of the man’s head bore the faded marks of previous beatings.
“A boxer, perhaps?” said Detective Girard. “His nose certainly looks it.”
Lambert shook his head. “The muscles are wrong. This is something else. See how this scar has stretched? I have a hunch this was a childhood injury.”
Girard almost rolled his eyes, but then it occurred to him how seldom the flamboyant Lambert’s hunches had proven wrong.
Good write.
Good to hear Lambert is on the case then…
Looks like an interesting mystery here.
Great write.
