As soon as she sees the body, Detective Helen Perkins is optimistic. She'd been hoping for a chance to prove herself to Captain Gates; to prove herself worthy of a permanent position on the Twelfth Precinct's homicide squad instead of just a temporary assignment while their lead detective is out on maternity leave.
She twirls around to face Detectives Ryan and Esposito. "I recognize this! The body covered in flowers, sunflowers on her eyes! I've read this book!"
"Yeah, us too," Esposito agrees, to her disappointment. "You should come with us. We know someone who can probably help with this."
