I scurry up the ladder to tug at his ankles. This time he can’t keep his cry to himself. As I dislodge one of his feet from the rung they’re desperate to stay on, he lunges upwards to clutch at the gutter. I’m down the ladder in a moment, and in another I’ve snatched it away. It clatters at full length on the concrete as its owner dangles from the flimsy gutter. “Help,” he screams. “Look what he’s done.

I might enjoy watching him dangle and wave his helpless legs for however many seconds he has left . . .

If they’re murders, how can the killer go unseen even by the security cameras? Perhaps David won’t know until they come too close to him—until he can’t ignore the figure from his past that is catching up with him. Perhaps denying it isn’t just the worst thing he can do but fatal...
