Too late…
There’s no time to give that case serious attention before another rears its head. A girl has gone missing, so her parents discover when they return from a holiday in gay Paree. Nothing gay about their present demeanour. Therese Eckeved was supposed to be holidaying with her boyfriend and his parents while they were away. The boyfriend did, she didn’t. There has been no sign of her. No-one has seen her but her friends are confident she will be alright. Unusually confident in the circumstances.
Slavenca Visnic, the woman who runs the kiosk in the Park, who sells drinks and ice creams, lives alone. She left her husband and children behind in Bosnia – their lives taken cruelly and her emotions left behind on the ground where the soldiers raped her. Even the discovery of Theresa’s body raises little feeling in her.
It’s the little dog that found where she was buried, not far from the ice cream kiosk.
She has been cleaned and carefully wrapped up – was that after the abuse and violation?
