Two murder victims now. One linked to Poe's the Raven. Other linked to nursery rhyme "four and twenty blackbirds." Cody, our detective, is fighting some demons. Murder victims are both police involved in death of bystander at a protest--strong suggestion of police overreaction. Is this retribution? If so, why all the "bird" complications? Pretty good so far, though not exactly fast moving.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
