‘I’m just checking to make sure everything’s OK,’ said
Martinez. ‘I mean, nobody’s broken into the house.
Nobody’s been fighting in the house. She doesn’t seem to
have taken her own life.’ Martinez put the paper away in his
pocket. ‘It looks as if she just died. I’m sorry, but sometimes
it happens. Well, you must know that. You’re a doctor.’
