Sam Blake was the only man Serena had ever met who was able to handle her.
He was a short, gentle, mild-mannered person with the patience of a saint.
No matter how outrageous Serena’s behavior, he would wait until she had calmed down and then have a quiet talk with her.
Blake had joined the sheriff’s department because Sheriff Matt Dowling was his best friend.
They had gone to school together and grown up together. Blake enjoyed police work and was exceedingly good at it.
He had a keen, inquiring intelligence and a stubborn tenacity. The combination made him the best detective on the force.
Earlier that morning, Sam Blake and Sheriff Dowling were having coffee together.
Sheriff Dowling said, “I hear my sister gave you a bad time last night. We got half a dozen calls from the neighbors complaining about the noise.”
“Serena’s a champion screamer, all right.” Sam shrugged. “I finally got her calmed down, Matt.”
“Thank God she’s not living with me anymore, Sam.” “I don’t know what gets into her. Her temper tantrums—”
Their conversation was interrupted. “Sheriff, we just got a 911. There’s been a murder over on Sunnyvale Avenue.”
Sheriff Dowling looked at Sam Blake. Blake nodded. “I’ll catch it.”
