Maximus’ POV
Being at the police station first thing in the morning wasn’t how I imagined my day would go, but when the detective investigating the orphanage case called me in, I didn’t have much of a choice.
I figured maybe he had a breakthrough, maybe he’d finally tracked down the person behind all the chaos, the one pulling the strings from the shadows in my business. What I wasn’t prepared for, though, was to be greeted by the lifeless body of Henry O'Hara.
I can’t believe it. The shock hits me like a punch to the gut.
It’s clear he didn’t die peacefully.
Very much clear.
This wasn’t a case of simply going to sleep and not waking up. The foam at his mouth is a dead giveaway. He was most definitely poisoned. But that’s not all. There are strangulation marks around his neck
