Forgotten Girls, Chapters 21 & 22

Chapter 21: Louise at odds with secretary at new place of work. Secy doesn't tell her about required meeting.  Son sick, going to grandparents. Attack on burned "dead" girl is very violent--forensics. Memories of Klaus. Young love, new house, all seemed fine and then--suicide.

Ch. 22  Louise tries to make peace with secy.  She wonders if she's being set up to fail (and then by fired) in this new job.
Friendship with coworker who draws a rat for her (her office had been infested earlier).
Eik, her partner, examines the clothes of the scarred/burned girl very carefully.
  DNA MATCH:  The man who killed child care provider had had sex with Lise.  He didn't hurt Lise, not like he'd hurt the child care provider.  This should also mean that he knows where Lise's (living?) twin is, since the two were inseparable.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
