weeks of research , evidence gathering and tailing had led him to this conclusion . a name , alexandria marguerite francois , a frenchwoman . no record of official entry into the country , no visa ; virtually no paper trail ; but public cctv did identify her among the few to have been within the vicinity of the victim’s home on the night of the murder .
he’d tailed her , tracing her steps until she finally came to sit down at a small cafe , mostly empty ; making it impossible for him to continue observing unnoticed . an exacerbated sigh escaped the young detective , his hands quickly adjusting his tie and fixing his hair before approaching the woman at her table . “excuse me ma’am ? would you mind if i took this seat ?”
