Steve answered with a shrug.  \nShe led him out of the muggy morning air into an upscale apartment in  \na gated complex within Houston’s inner loop. The metal tip of his white cane swept back and forth across a floor of beige travertine. Once past the foyer, coat closet, and home office, the open floor plan gave her a view of a kitchen, dining area, and living room of substantial proportions.  \nShe took in a full breath.“The kitchen counters are marble; the stove and ovens are professional grade.” Heather turned to the dining room.“Dining room table and chairs for ten. All new and high end.”  \nSteve responded with a grunt but no words.  \n“The stone floor ends where the living room begins. The carpet is what’s called loop-cut-loop. It’s tightly woven, has geometric patterns, and looks expensive. The room reminds me of one hit by a tornado. Broken lamps and vases, ripped couches and chairs, paintings thrown about willynilly, and a puddle of what I’m sure is drying blood by the coffee table.”  \nLeo, Steve’s former partner at Houston homicide, added,“It’s blood. We tested it. The forensic crew bagged and tagged a fireplace poker with hair, skin, and blood on it.”  \nSteve asked,“How much hair?”","cbCaiv4ljhtJM1EZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv4ljhtJM1EZ","pdf",2316147,269,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n## Chapter 9\n## Chapter 10\n## Chapter 11\n## Chapter 12\n## Chapter 13\n## Chapter 14\n## Chapter 15\n## Chapter 16\n## Chapter 17\n## Chapter 18\n## Chapter 19\n## Chapter 20\n## Chapter 21\n## Chapter 22\n## Chapter 23\n## Chapter 24\n## Chapter 25\n## Chapter 26\n## Chapter 27\n## Chapter 28\n## Chapter 29\n## Chapter 30\n## Chapter 31\n## Chapter 32\n## Chapter 33\n## Chapter 34\n## Chapter 35\n## Chapter 36\n## Chapter 37\n## Chapter 38\n## Chapter 39\n## Chapter 40\n## Dig Deep For Murder Excerpt\n## From The Author\n## Books By Bruce Hammack\n## About The Author\n## Copyright","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters involved at the crime scene?\",\"answer\":\"The excerpt centers on Heather and Steve, with Leo providing context from Houston homicide work.\"},{\"question\":\"What evidence confirms that a murder has occurred?\",\"answer\":\"Leo states the blood was tested, and forensics bagged and tagged a fireplace poker with hair, skin, and blood on it.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the scene take place when the investigation begins?\",\"answer\":\"Heather leads Steve through an upscale gated apartment complex within Houston’s inner loop.\"}]","A Beach To Die For -
