“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?”The boy was starting stubbornly at his lap again.

A thought suddenly occurred to Annika,“Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”

The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers,“Maybe,”he said quietly.
