Sinopse

Someone had washed the mud off the body, but as Gaius Petreius Ruso unwrapped the sheet there was still a distinct smell of river. The assistant wrinkled his nose as he approached with the record tablet and the measuring stick he had been sent to fetch.'So,' said Ruso, flipping the tablet open. 'What's the usual procedure here for unidentified bodies?'The man hesitated. 'I don't know, sir. The mortuary assistant's on leave.''So who are you?''The assistant's assistant, sir.' The man was staring at the corpse.'But you have attended a post-mortem before?'Without taking his eyes off the body, the man shook his head. 'Are they all like that, sir?'Ruso, who had started work before it was light, stifled a yawn. 'Not where I come from.'
