The Bride Collector [antikvár]

"THANK YOU, DETECTIVE. We'll take it from here." FBI Special Agent Brad Raines stood in the small barn's wide doorway and scanned the dimly lit interior. Dusk fell on an ancient wood floor covered in dust disturbed by numerous footprints. Shafts of light streamed from cracks in a sagging roof. Long abandoned. A natural choice. "With all due respect, Agent Raines, my team is here," the detective replied. "They can work the scene." "But they won't, Detective Lambert." Raines turned his head slowly, taking it all in. One rectangular room roughly fifteen by forty, covered by a tin roof. Interior walls formed by six-inch graying wooden planks. Ten, twenty, thirty, thirty-two on the narrow side. Fifteen feet, as estimated. Two shovels and a pitchfork on the floor to his right. A single window with dirty, tinted panes, crowded by empty cobwebs.
