    About this ebook

    She had almost let him commit the perfect murder.  He repaid her by haunting her dreams with his gloating face.

     

    The DNA sample she had collected at the crime scene had allowed him to walk free.  Now she needed another sample if she was to show him that justice was a dish best served cold.

      Judges

      Mar 10, 2024

      The doctors assured me the shrapnel in my leg would do no further harm if they “let sleeping dogs lie,” or at least less harm than trying to take it out would cause. “Hey,” I asked them. “What if it decides to cut its way out all on its own?” My grea

      He was in my mirror, his face taking form as the fog of sleep cleared from my eyes. His image stared back at me, the way it did every time I forgot to put on my glasses. Every time it was the same smirk, the same mocking look in his eyes. I didn’t get my glasses on soon enough, and I began to hear his voice. Thanks Rosie, for a job well done.

      Inside the mirror, his lips puckered and blew me a kiss, sending a shiver down my spine. He was evil and I should hate him. But my imagination was fascinated by him. His eyes were alluring, hypnotic. He puckered his lips again, sending a flush all over my skin.

      I put my glasses on before he could continue. Then I took extra care with my mascara to begin to block him out. My skin was light, my hair long and blonde. The mascara gave me a bit of color. In the mirror, his image started to reappear but I stabbed towards his eye with a hair-pin. Adjusting my bra to perfectly cup my breasts finally erased the last traces of his smirking smile.

      His name was Gary Keller and he had been accused of killing thirty women. The lead detective had covered all the bases. The evidence he’d assembled proved that all of the victims had been killed by a single assailant. Each had been seen in Keller’s company shortly before she had gone missing. Like me, every victim had been blonde.

      All in all, an airtight case.

      Airtight until I’d been called to the witness stand at Keller’s trial. The prosecutor had asked me the usual background questions, then he’d asked, How does DNA work?  Prior to trial, he had explained that if I taught the jury about the basics of DNA, they’d be more likely to accept my evidence at face value.

      I’d taken a deep breath. DeoxyriboNucleic Acid—DNA for short, is the bio-chemical blueprint which provides the instructions our cells use to create our bodies. And our cells continue to use these instructions to renew our bodies, some cells faster than others. DNA is found in almost every cell of the human body. It is excreted in our urine and saliva, sometimes even in our feces.

      And feces is?

      Poop.  That had elicited the
