For lying against a wall in a dark alley is the body of a young woman, stabbed below the breast. Once the Watch has been summoned, Canaletto's involvement in the tragedy should be at an end. So why can't he get the young woman out of his mind? Is it simply because she reminds him of his apprentice, Fanny Rooker? Is it the piece of paper clutched in her hand that pricks his inquisitive mind? Or is it the brutal slashing of her pretty face in the shape of a letter W . . .
