The name of the person in the grave was Melina Laskaris.
She angled the light to the victim's right hand, which was on the ground, palm up. On the ring finger she saw a small tattoo of a donkey. It was the seventh animal, which meant there was one more to go.
Before Jessica could stop her – and she didn't really want to stop her – Nicci Malone stepped forward, knelt down, pulled off the bloodied white headband. When Jessica saw the victim's face, the triangle was complete.
The dead woman was Lina Laskaris.
Her killer was Eduardo Robles.
The accomplice, the harmony in this horror show – the broken body sprawled before them in this crumbling graveyard – was Detective Dennis Stansfield.
