2 " Quite simply, the old man had told her, a victim of murder could rely on no one but the investigating officer to fight his or her corner. The family and friends of a murder victim might, for some reason, abandon them. The victim might never even be identified. The case might be open and shut, or never solved. But the dead can’t ask questions, or justify themselves, or hunt the guilty, or prosecute, or do any other thing a living person could. The dead needed you. "
