Excerpt

“Yes, of course.” Polly slid back to her rolltop desk. She would do a bang-up job on the piece. They would see. Mr. Ward wouldn’t be disappointed.

Harry mumbled something else that Polly didn’t catch. No matter. She had her first real story to report. She would show Mr. Ward and Harry. And everyone else who had

ever doubted her. This was big. She stood and bounced on her tiptoes.

Now, to get going. Without a moment’s thought, she settled her rather unflattering fedora on her head, the paper stuck in the band proclaiming her as part of the press, swiped her notebook and pencil from her desk, and swept from the building into the darkening Denver evening.

In spite of the August heat, she shivered. That woman had been on the street alone. Polly had to make the trek herself. Alone. A few blocks to catch the streetcar. A few more after she got off.

What if the perpetrator hadn’t been caught yet?

Another mugging. Two of them, to be exact.

Edwin Price sat back in his office chair in the middle of the Denver Police Department

and sighed. There was nothing unusual about that. Muggings were an almost daily occurrence. Some people apparently still believed Denver to be the Wild West. And nothing the cops did changed the numbers.

He’d joined the force to make up for that night he had done nothing. To absolve himself. To make a difference this time.

Some difference he was making.

“What have you got there?” Edwin’s partner, Ralph O’Fallon, nodded to the file in Edwin’s hand.

“Two more muggings. Women out alone. Happened within a two-minute walk of each other.”

“That’s a little bit different.” O’Fallon positioned himself on the corner of Edwin’s desk. The only clutter-free corner of it. “Anything else to it?”
