“The semi-conscious woman gave a small moan, but made no attempt to move. Her skin
felt cold and clammy to his touch. Her breathing sounded shallow. He turned his attention
to tracing the source of the blood on the floor under her jaw. On the right side
of her head, under a matted section of hair, he found a three-centimetre long gash.
Blood had run down her scalp, pooling in her ear canal before trickling onto the
floor.”
