The Full Moon hung high overhead, its Crimson light spilling across a gravestone and making the black-and-white photograph of Dunn, with his high hairline, seem a little brighter.
Daly stood before Dunn's grave, quietly staring at the photograph on the stone. Then her gaze moved down, and she softly read his epitaph:
