Night Hues by Gwendolyn Jensen-Woodard
Prologue
The call was late, or early depending on the point of view. The east was changing from the deepest blue of midnight, to the dark aqua of the ocean at night. The city was beginning slowly to come alive, for those who lived in the sun. Lights blinked on in buildings, and cars raced by. The sound of the wind and rain on I5, being mere feet from the ally where the victim lay, moaned lamentations for a man who will never see another sunrise.
Lieutenant Lilah Evans stood carefully, taking a half-step back from the corpse. As an experienced homicide detective, she headed up any nighttime murders, though it was her prerogative to hand off some to the Detectives in homicide. Lilah kept the strange ones herself. She viewed it as a challenge. The corpse this night looked like any normal murder. Or it would, if Lilah were human.
Detective Allen Davies, newly assigned to her squad. He was new to Seattle, but he wasn’t green, and back in St. Louis he’d had the authority. Here, Lilah had rank, and for some reason that put a chip on his shoulder. Almost like a grudge, he didn’t want to see the Lieutenant do a better job than himself. It might have been colored with a smidge of misogyny. Allen Davies didn’t know anything about Lilah first hand, and decided on the spot, that she’d earned her badge. In Lilah’s opinion, it was a great way to be a pain in her ass.
