It was as if the heavens themselves called to me and awoken me from an otherwise eternal sleep, although death was preferred at the time, i can now say that even if i was dead as dead can be the heavens would have called me back for the world have burned itself without my hand guiding the flame.
Anyway, back to the case at hand.
Missus Draper and her children were left without a father and a husband when the theater on Melrose erupted into flames and collapsed, so goes the commissary's report. However, only two years after the incident, Mr Draper, who survived but was confined to one of our department's luxurious penthouses, was so to speak beaten nigh to death then thrown from the window. Mr Draper's killer, on the other hand, met a swift death when they crossed a mobster, so goes the commissary's report.
The years that followed saw developments halts and nigh implosions in the Draper case, but when their star detective returned from their slumber in the realm of death, the Draper case found itself a new home in my hands and of course in the hands of the skeletons that returned with me.
