    About this ebook

    Police officer Donald Smart in the homicide squad is due for his yearly vacation in only three days when his boss Chief Lang gives him another homicide to lock after. Lang said if you need help take any of the other guys. Okay, answered Donald and walked back to his own office. Reading through the material he thought there was something similar to a few cases down in the cold case file. Putting the thoughts in front of his boss, he agreed and had those three cases brought to Donald's office. The same afternoon he had promised his wife Linda to see a painting exhibition downtown. Coming down to this exhibition by artist James Black, one of the paintings was a copy of a photo from one of the homicide cases. When he told his wife about the painting, she answered. Mrs. Jones three houses down from us, has a son, Ray that does very nice paintings. Would you be interested in having a look at his paintings? Sure babe, if he is a good artist, he might be able to sell what he paints. The following day, Donald knocks at Mrs. Jones door, and explains that my wife Linda told me that your son Ray likes to paint. Looking at all the painting Ray had done at home, some even better than artist James Black. Telling Ray about the full value of what he had created, Ray told Donald that his girlfriend Lory Hansen had told him he was wasting his time painting. Help me selling drugs instead it'll give us much more money. Getting permission to contact this Lory Hansen, it turned out that all the DNA and the crime scene investigation were against her, and she was without any doubt the killer of four citizens.

      It was the Wednesday just before his vacation. When Officer Donald Smart, at the homicide squad, had been given a new case. Reading through the pertinent papers, he noticed that the circumstances were like three other homicides now residing among other boxes on the shelfs of the cold case files.

      Taking the long walk up to his superior, his boss, police Chief Lang was busy talking on the phone. But, when he noticed Smart waiting outside his office, he waived his hand at his friend to come in and sit down. What is giving me the pleasure of this visit, he asked while he in his usual fashion was studying Smart.

      This case you gave me, with only two days left before my vacation, is a copy of three other homicides, now collecting dust down by the other cold case files, explained Smart and waited for his boss answer.

      So, Donald, would you like to move this case down with those others in the cold case file? asked Lang while he stared at Smart.

      "No, to the contrary chief. I do believe that we could solve all four cases by putting them together and going through everything we have on the three
