Hey, lethal listeners, tig torres

0:02

here stay tuned for the next episode

0:04

of Lethal Lit. But before

0:06

we dive into today's episode, here's

0:08

a quick word from our sponsor. You're

0:14

about to hear a recording of my aunt Beth taped

0:17

at a murder scene she was covering for the local

0:19

paper. Two months later,

0:22

she was dead. It was ruled a suicide.

0:31

La was a twenty seven year

0:33

old woman, brown hair, brown

0:35

eyes, five four approximately

0:38

thirty five pounds, in visible tattoos

0:41

or markings. Cause of death unknown.

0:44

She was found with two small puncture ruins

0:46

on the right side of her neck, dried blood

0:48

near the entry points. Before you get

0:50

too excited and bust out your twilight merch,

0:53

this isn't a vampire story. After

0:57

she died, my aunt was accused of being

0:59

a serial murderer known as the lip Killer.

1:04

A note found inside the victim's purse,

1:06

consistent with the previous ones, reads,

1:09

you're always a careful student. Now

1:11

you are master the colts

1:14

from John Seward, a character in Bram

1:16

Stoker's Dracula. The lip Killer

1:18

murders gripped the small town of Hollow

1:21

Falls a decade ago. By

1:23

the end of the killing spree six people,

1:26

including my aunt Beth. We're

1:28

dead. The police

1:30

discovered a handwritten note next to our body

1:32

and decided it was her confession. But

1:35

my aunt was no killer. The

1:38

mission of this podcast is simple, to

1:42

uncover the truth, to clear

1:44

my aunt's name, to put

1:46

the real killer behind bars, or

1:49

die trying. I'm

1:52

tig Torres and this

1:55

is Lethal Lit. Greetings,

2:01

Lethal Lit listeners, Welcome

2:03

to the first episode of our podcast. Well,

2:06

if there are any of you out there listening,

2:09

I'm new to this whole podcast

2:11

thing. My

2:14

home, my past is

2:16

a burnt out burg known as Hollow Falls.

2:20

Back in the day, it was known for making

2:22

iron. Now it's

2:24

known for board teens getting laid,

2:26

dealing drugs, and oh

2:28

yeah, grizzly murders. My

2:32

dad knew it was time to bail once the town decided

2:34

my aunt was a serial killer. He

2:37

wanted a better life for me, one

2:39

that was more gossip

2:41

Girl West twin Peaks. So

2:44

we ditched for New York. But

2:47

my dad lost his job. So now I'm

2:49

back in this time warp of a town,

2:52

living in my aboilas creeky old house.

2:55

While he's looking for new work, I'm

2:57

here taking the opportunity

3:00

to make things right. The

3:02

only way you can truly understand the lit Killer

3:05

is by understanding where they sprang

3:07

from Hollow Falls.

3:10

And since the iron works closed, the

3:13

only thing in this town that still has a faint

3:15

heartbeat is Hollow Falls High.

3:21

I managed to sneak through the first week of the school

3:23

year, plenty of dirty looks for the new

3:25

girl, a few old kindergarten

3:27

classmates who wouldn't look at me at all, but

3:31

I guess that's to be expected. Here

3:33

we go on week two. In

3:36

Pride and Prejudice, the book

3:38

Guys, Elizabeth Bennett says,

3:41

there is a stubbornness about me that never

3:43

can bear to be frightened. My courage

3:45

always rises at every attempt to

3:47

intimidate me. That's what I'm

3:50

thinking about now, because

3:52

even though I'm stubborn, I'm

3:55

scared, and I need my courage

3:57

to lead me towards some help. I

4:00

need to find out of my way. Psycho

4:02

Junior Movement. That's Tony del

4:04

Canto us D, A approved

4:06

jock with resting more on face. He'll

4:08

be important leader. Hell Man,

4:11

what's where I'm going? You're the one. No one

4:13

wants you here? Freak show we all

4:15

know about you and your messed up family. I

4:19

guess I shouldn't be surprised. My debut at

4:21

the school was a rocky one. Everyone

4:24

already knew exactly who tig Torres

4:26

was. But while my family wasn't loved around

4:28

here, I still didn't expect to be body

4:31

slammed by the high school quarterback before

4:33

eight am. I needed to find some

4:35

allies stat so

4:37

after school I decided to check out the student

4:39

newspaper, The Talent First, guys,

4:44

I just wanted to

4:45

think,

4:53

Hi, newspaper staff, I'm t

4:56

we knew who you are. City Mouse. That's

4:58

Max Winman. He it can be a little extra.

5:01

Sometimes you'll see what's

5:03

up. Dorus bored a small film authority,

5:06

and that's win Abbott. Both Max

5:08

and Winner on the newspaper staff. They

5:10

don't hate me as much as they seem to. Now. I'm

5:13

actually looking for info on the serial murders

5:16

that took place here ten years ago. You mean

5:18

the murders your aunt committed. She didn't

5:20

kill anyone, she was framed. The

5:22

real killer is still out there. This

5:24

podcast I'm starting is gonna put you.

5:27

That's our friend Tony. I told you

5:29

he'd pop up again. You've got

5:31

to swap out the picture of me from Tuesday's game. Bro

5:34

Coach keeps calling me volcano face because

5:36

of that giant sit on my cheek, Show up

5:38

my better side. You have a better side.

5:40

Yeah, that's the one that shows how much more important

5:42

football is in this town than whatever feminazi

5:45

slumber parties you plan in your kids. Lost,

5:48

Tony, you're killing an hostile vibe.

5:51

That's Ali Price, editor of the

5:53

Talent. Oh my bad, sorry

5:55

to interrupt your chat with Jackie the Ripper

5:57

over here. Just fix that shot.

5:59

So there's were picks of me actually throwing

6:02

the ball. And as for you

6:05

don't murder anyone, okay, psycho

6:08

Tony out? Did

6:11

he just say Tony out a

6:14

third person himself? But just

6:17

give the meadheads some credit for finally noticing

6:19

I've been spotlighting that boulders it for the last

6:21

three Yearsues does win

6:23

with the clap? Is he always

6:25

such an alpha douche? Yeah, he's pretty much

6:27

just a walking flat line. So why

6:30

are you here again because you

6:32

want to talk serial killers? Yeah?

6:34

Like I said, I'm starting a new podcast and

6:36

you need research people to help you out with

6:38

that. We're all kind of serial killer experts

6:40

around here. But I think

6:43

you can handle things when the research gets

6:45

a little gory, a little messed

6:47

up. Messed up like an entire town

6:49

thinking your aunt was a murderer and blaming

6:51

your whole fan for the last decade. That sounds

6:54

more sad than anything. And I gotta handle

6:56

on gory, like how Jeffrey Dahmer used

6:58

to feed his neighbor's sand jizzy made from his victor

7:02

lunch is canceled. Okay,

7:05

okay, maybe you can't hang with this crew.

7:08

Hold on a sect? Is this?

7:11

This is the moment where I know I'm in the right

7:13

place. These Junior

7:16

Sarah Kaneggs not only had a map

7:18

of the town hanging up in the newspaper office,

7:20

but it was loaded with color coded pushpins

7:22

and strings. Each one pointed

7:24

to a lip killer murder, plus a photo

7:27

of the victim, along with

7:30

one of my aunt Beth and

7:32

one of me. This

7:34

is for a memorial edition of the talent, ten

7:36

years since the lid killer murders, the town's

7:38

only real claim to fame. You know, it's it forever

7:41

to get it approved, but our adviser, Mr Levinson

7:43

pulled the strings for us. Wow, So

7:46

that's how you knew who I was. You've already done a

7:48

bunch of the same research I have. I

7:50

mean, you could have picked a less freshmany

7:53

photo. But whatever, it's cool. So

7:56

what's this week's topic? The lip Killer's

7:58

Dracula style fourth murder? Is

8:00

it all podcasts and no play with you?

8:03

Pretty much until I prove my aunt's

8:05

innocence And you think you can do that?

8:08

Oh? I know I can do it, but I

8:11

could also really use some support. I

8:14

feel like I'm an instant outcast here. I

8:17

figured, since you guys are already interested

8:19

in this kind of thing, maybe we could

8:22

team up. What do you say,

8:24

help a new girl out? Cute? But

8:27

why should we believe you? Of course

8:29

you think your aunt's innocence. She's your aunt,

8:31

but the evidence says otherwise. Yeah.

8:34

True, But what if the evidence

8:37

the town wants us to believe is wrong. What

8:39

if the people in charge of the evidence we're looking

8:41

for an easy fix instead of the truth. Yeah,

8:44

I'm not really buying it. Maybe you're just trying to convince

8:46

yourself you will become a slaughter siren like your

8:48

aunts. Fine, whatever, I

8:51

just thought maybe the newspaper staff would be less

8:53

gullible than the rest of this zombie town.

8:56

Dude, have you been recording our conversation

8:58

this whole time? It's not even like legal Relax

9:02

Innocence project. I just had it on in

9:04

case you guys said anything useful, but no

9:06

worries he didn't. Taurus

9:08

has some bite. I like it, all right? Can

9:11

you call us when you like have some actual

9:13

proof. In the meantime, can we

9:15

get back to whatever we were doing before this whole

9:19

encounter? How's this? Stop

9:21

the presses? Everyone? It's the missing link a

9:24

printed photo, not guiltily.

9:26

Wait is that bes Taurus? Do

9:30

not call her that? TESTI?

9:32

TESTI Okay? So uh all

9:34

right, it's your aunt and

9:38

you and

9:41

we care because check your

9:43

pinboard, Watson. It was taken at

9:45

the annual Hollow Falls Harvest Festival.

9:47

Look at the time stamp? WHOA?

9:51

The lip Killer's fourth victim, Mary

9:54

Wozniak, was murdered on June

9:56

eleven, two and eight. The coroner's

9:58

report gave the time of death that noon,

10:02

the time stamp on my photo one

10:05

PM. Not enough to prove her

10:07

innocence, but just enough to

10:09

make you scratch your head and think that maybe,

10:12

just maybe my Auntbeth wasn't

10:14

the lip killer, so had

10:16

I gotten some backup from Win Ali

10:18

and Max? But I wasn't

10:20

sure yet. But I still

10:22

needed to dive into the Hollow Falls i'd missed

10:25

out on after my dad and I skipped town.

10:28

The best way to do that would be by talking

10:30

to someone who had survived the last decade intact

10:33

mostly. Okay,

10:36

can you state your name for the

10:38

tape? Please, Abuela

10:42

no Ahuilla, your real name, Oh,

10:45

Sophia Urabella.

10:49

Thanks for clarifying. I

10:51

want to talk a little bit about Hollow Falls, color

10:54

Falls city, sip

10:57

sucks, that's what You'rbeth.

11:00

Bobby always said to me, Mommy,

11:02

I'm bored, Mommy, why

11:05

do we live here? I've heard it all

11:07

before, Minina, So I'm

11:09

ready for you. This is my Aboila.

11:12

She's wonderful, smart, funny,

11:15

and, let's be honest, a

11:17

little crazy, and I wanted

11:19

to get a better sense of how the town had changed since

11:22

my dad and I left a Boila,

11:24

I told you this is for the podcast, which

11:27

for you would be kind of like an old radio

11:29

show. I know what a

11:31

podcast is, right, Okay,

11:35

So what can you tell me about the town?

11:37

What's the vibe like here, vibe

11:40

is bad, very very

11:43

bad. But I don't know how

11:45

much you want me to say. I need you to be honest,

11:48

Ninya. I am always honest, you

11:51

know that. But in this town

11:53

you don't want to say too much. You

11:56

know, there are a lot of people in this town

11:58

who don't like our family to Haboila.

12:01

Okay, okay. Hollow

12:04

Falls used to be

12:07

a nice place. But this was years

12:09

ago, when there were jobs, when

12:11

people helped each other. When

12:13

you're Abuelow, God rest his soul

12:16

first moved us to Hollow Falls. But

12:19

times change. When the iron

12:21

works closed, the jobs point away,

12:24

and the town it got different,

12:27

different, how not trust. You

12:30

didn't say hi to your neighbors anymore. You

12:32

locked your doors. The whole town had

12:34

gone to the birds. So

12:36

many birds, birds, yes,

12:39

yes, so many birds. The

12:42

whole town was infested with wings,

12:45

feathers to saois all

12:47

over the place. I think that's

12:49

what created that monstro,

12:51

that murderer who took my best. Like

12:54

I said, mostly intact, my

12:57

interview with Aboila Sophia done, and

13:00

after getting nothing from the principal's office

13:02

at school, his assistant did

13:04

a convincing impression of a brick wall. It

13:07

was time to hit the streets and dig up some facts from

13:09

the town itself. I decided my next

13:11

stop would be the Hollow Falls Police Department.

13:14

They dropped the ball in a major way when

13:16

it came to the lip killer case and totally took

13:18

the easy way out. But that doesn't mean

13:20

they don't have info I could use. Hey,

13:25

Hi, how did you get back in? Um?

13:28

I had an appointment to see Detective

13:30

Carver. Is she around here? Have an appointment with Laura?

13:33

That's odd? No, she's not

13:35

around. I'm a partner Detective Jake Lahne.

13:38

Can I help you? Yeah? Actually,

13:41

I'm working on a project about the lit killer case,

13:44

and I wanted to talk to someone about where

13:46

the investigation stand. Well.

13:48

I wasn't around back then, but I know the cases

13:50

officially closed. That reported did it?

13:53

Why would you want to do a project about such? Are you

13:55

sure she did it? Have you looked

13:58

over the evidence? I

14:00

haven't. When we studied at the academy a bit.

14:03

It's kind of a haky case. Yeah,

14:07

something about the killer's suicide, how it

14:09

looks different from the murder. Have you lost

14:11

your rookie mind? Oh? The sex of car. This

14:14

is Tig Torres, niece of

14:16

Bes Torres, and you, my young,

14:18

inexperienced partner, are spilling confidential

14:21

info about her aunt's case to her. What's

14:24

wrong with this picture, Lee Haine,

14:27

her aunt as for you,

14:29

Torres, would be in your best interest to turn off

14:31

that recording device and walk out that door immediately.

14:34

The lit killer case is closed, has been for

14:36

a long time. Come on go. It's

14:39

hard to argue with a police detective asking

14:42

well, demanding you leave

14:44

a police station. So I did, but

14:47

Lehane's loose lips gave me more than I expected,

14:50

a little hope. Still, I

14:52

needed hard facts. Next

14:54

up was the place where my aunt Beth broke

14:57

the lit killer story and

14:59

where it bro her. I

15:03

ran into Win on my way to the Hollow Falls

15:05

Ledger, my aunt's old workplace.

15:08

Once a thriving daily paper, the Ledger

15:10

was now a fading relic. Hallow

15:13

Falls Ledger. This is hang

15:17

on a sec. Hi.

15:19

Can I help you too? Hi? We're

15:22

Tig and Win and we're high school

15:24

students working on a report about the lip killer.

15:27

Is there anyone here who could help us

15:29

with our research? It's really important

15:31

we get a good grade. On this. We're always

15:34

chasing them. Maze. I'm sorry, I

15:37

don't think we can help you. Is Sam

15:39

Steiner here? He used to work with Beth

15:41

Torres back in the day. Sam doesn't

15:44

work here anymore, young lady, So I'm sorry.

15:47

Well, do you have a number where I could reach him? And he's

15:49

been gone for years since, well

15:51

since the truth about his partner came out

15:54

and hit him hard. You mean the lie

15:56

hit him hard because it was all, Oh, ma'am, Is

15:59

there any way that you can help us find

16:01

Sam? Look, people

16:04

come and go, especially in this business.

16:06

It feels like we've got a new wave of layoffs every

16:09

week. But Sam was out of here years

16:11

ago, and last I already harmited

16:13

himself away in the woods. You need

16:15

more than that. They'll take a high see if you can

16:18

find him. My

16:20

aunt Beth always said that a big part of reporting

16:22

was showing up and asking questions. This

16:25

time we barely got to ask any questions.

16:28

But just when I thought all of Hollow Falls was

16:30

going to be a massive black hole of info,

16:33

I found something in the place I should have checked

16:35

first. Maya

16:38

Buda's houses on the edge of town. She's

16:41

lucky. People tend to leave her alone. Well,

16:44

mostly there are the occasional

16:46

burnouts looking to egg the dump where Beth

16:48

lip Killer Torres grew up, and

16:51

knowing how desperate the cops were to close the lip

16:53

killer case back then, I knew they couldn't

16:55

have gotten all of Aunt Beth's notes. I

16:58

felt like I had a good chance of finding something police

17:00

were too basic to see. And

17:02

where better to kick off my search for evidence

17:04

than in Aboila's giant rickety

17:06

house. When

17:10

stopped by and offered to help, so I roped

17:12

her into searching a What is attic with me? She's

17:15

taking a nap right now, Hence the whispering where

17:19

this police has death trap written all over it. If

17:21

I see a spider, I'm out. No

17:24

promises. Maybe the dust will keep

17:26

them out. I

17:28

came out of nowhere. Are you sure this police

17:30

is haunted? That was

17:33

the sound of me stepping on a loose floorboard.

17:35

I have the bruises to prove it. But what was

17:37

underneath was a gold mine.

17:40

What is that? It was a fortune

17:43

Teller, an oregonmy paper

17:45

game with folded parts that were labeled with colors

17:47

and letters. I tried a

17:49

few combinations like blue and

17:51

z. But it left me flat. Maybe

17:54

it was nothing. Maybe I was looking for meaning

17:56

in a child's toy. I

17:59

was still ending in that broken down attict,

18:01

trying to figure out what a piece of paper meant. When I

18:03

saw it a bookshelf across

18:06

the room, my eyes stopped on one

18:08

book in particular, The Scarlet

18:10

Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the

18:13

story of a colonial woman forced to wear

18:15

a red a on her clothing because the whole

18:17

town decided to slut shame her.

18:20

The story of a woman who had become a pariah.

18:24

Scarlet. That's got

18:26

to be it. It's one of the books

18:28

on the shelf here. So what though,

18:31

I mean, everybody has a copy of

18:33

that book. That's the point. When these

18:35

are literary classics. It ties

18:38

into the case directly. Check

18:40

it out. When I flipped from red

18:43

to A there's

18:45

a number under that flap, three digits,

18:48

like a page number in a

18:50

book. Please be a page number

18:52

in the book. Oh are you kidding

18:55

me? Maybe it underestimated you girl.

18:57

Thanks. Here in

19:00

the margins of the page, it says Duvall

19:04

Street. And look at the symbol

19:06

on the facing page. I ever seen

19:08

that? No, that

19:10

just looks like a bird in a circle. But

19:14

that address is near Hemlock

19:16

Row. My parents always said to avoid

19:18

that strip. I can't wait.

19:23

Okay, I'm walking through town with Max

19:25

and we're almost at two Ball Street when

19:27

said she needed a massive detox after snorting

19:30

up so much dust in my boils attic. Max

19:33

knows the drain better than I do, so he's

19:35

taking point. I haven't been all the way

19:37

down here, but I think we're close. This

19:39

is kind of like treasure hunting, right, I

19:42

mean in this area, it's more like dumpster diving.

19:44

But still, Oh,

19:47

there it is Ball Street.

19:50

Hey, that's actually kind

19:52

of cool. Styles always where

19:54

you least expected. It

19:56

was a diner dressed up like a Johnny

19:59

rockets on crap Ray Bradberry

20:01

with a dash of Stephen King. But

20:04

why did my aunt's clue sent me here? Hey,

20:07

kiddos, are you staring at

20:10

You're smoking them molly pills? I wish

20:12

I was. This is jaded

20:14

waiter Phil. We found him smoking outside

20:17

the Star Diner. I kind of love him.

20:19

Oh, we were just admiring

20:21

the design of this place. Is this a bank

20:23

scene? Who the heck is Spanksy?

20:26

I don't understand half of what you can't say

20:29

today. This place used

20:31

to be nice, but now it's all ganda happy.

20:34

Look at that damn sign give me

20:36

a freaking headache. With every flicker, the

20:39

A and Star diner was suffering from

20:41

a faulty bulb. The sign

20:44

was also read a

20:46

red scarlet letter a bingo.

20:50

After a few fruitless circles around the sign,

20:52

we almost gave up. But remember

20:55

that symbol we noticed in the book. It

20:58

was crudely scratched into the sign

21:00

posts electrical panel. We

21:02

pried it open and found a small box

21:05

with a tiny black cassette tape inside.

21:08

Aunt Beth must have used these for recording her

21:10

thoughts, her genius

21:12

and Beth thoughts. Thankfully,

21:15

even Hollow Falls was within Amazon

21:17

Primes rate, so I could find a recorder to

21:19

play it. But that wasn't all. In

21:22

the box with the mini cassette was

21:24

a slip of paper. Oh

21:27

my god, damn, your aunt is literally

21:29

passing us notes from beyond the grave. Is

21:32

it better for a man to have chosen evil than

21:34

to have good imposed upon him? That

21:37

sounds familiar. Let me look it up on my phone.

21:42

I was right. It's from a clockwork orange

21:45

whoa, We're totally on a treasure hunting

21:47

dumpster diving adventure. Now, what did I tell

21:49

you? Our

21:51

next move was to try and get our hands on a copy

21:54

of Anthony Burgess's book. With that

21:56

in mind, I headed to one of the few

21:58

useful places left in town, the

22:01

Hollow Falls Library. Man,

22:04

I love the library. I'd forgotten

22:06

how many fond memories I had of the Hollow

22:09

Falls branch. Fond memories

22:11

and Hollow Falls are two phrases you don't hear together

22:13

much. It just got so much personality,

22:17

from the old school clock tower to the

22:19

retro filing system. I

22:21

didn't find any copies of clockwork orange,

22:24

but I did dig up an article about

22:26

an internship program teaming up the talent

22:28

and the Hollow Falls Ledger. No

22:31

such program exists now, though not

22:33

to self asked Mr Levinson about why it was

22:36

discontinued. Hey cordin

22:39

yourself again? What no? And

22:42

just never mind? Yes, I am

22:45

so. I got bored and googled

22:47

you last night. Weird.

22:49

It seems you're not a newvie when it comes to the world of true

22:51

crime. Take twar us or should

22:54

I call you? Elizabeth Salamander? Nine seven

22:56

impressive? This is Ali

22:59

again from the newspaper, and

23:01

apparently he frequents the same true

23:04

crime message boards. I do the

23:06

screen name he mentioned. My screen

23:09

name is a jokey reference to The Girl

23:11

with the Dragon Tattoo books by Steve Larson.

23:14

Hey, look, I'm sorry we gave

23:16

you a hard time when you came by the talent. I

23:18

know when and Max have been partnering up with you. But

23:20

if you want more help with your serial killer research,

23:23

my services are available to and

23:25

what services are the What is

23:29

is this it? Roof

23:31

water? Oh god, it looks like get

23:40

it over. Remember

23:45

our pal Tony del Canto, Well,

23:48

that was his body that crashed down in front

23:50

of us. I've never seen anything

23:53

like that. I

23:55

never want to again. Sure,

23:58

I've seen crime scene photos, read

24:00

some messed up books, but

24:03

seeing something so gruesome in person, I'll

24:06

never forget it. The

24:08

word on the street is suicide. But

24:11

based on what we've learned so far about this

24:13

town, what do you think?

24:17

We want everyone to remain calm and the investigation

24:20

proceeds. Defective cover me

24:23

have everything under control. That was Principal

24:25

Ronald Block's attempt at calming the student

24:28

body in the wake of Tony's death. While

24:30

anyone could have their reasons for jumping from

24:33

a clock tower, from what we

24:35

know of Tony so far, does

24:37

he seem like the type. Turns

24:40

out, Tony's background was more complicated

24:42

than most. Tony's dad,

24:44

Big Tone, was a major businessman

24:47

in Hollow Falls. He was, also,

24:49

along with five others, a victim

24:51

of the lit killer, which

24:54

explains why Tony was such a jerk. To

24:56

me, he thought my aunt murdered his

24:58

dad, But this wasn't

25:00

someone who had given up on at all. No

25:03

one believes us, but Ali and I know that

25:05

blood dripped before the body fell. And

25:08

guess what was found next to Tony's shattered

25:10

body? A shell, A

25:13

broken conk shell with a number

25:15

painted on it. Ten twelve

25:18

to anyone else, random, but to me,

25:22

my aunt Beth died on October twelfth,

25:25

two thousand and eight. The

25:28

crime scene has been mostly cleared, so we're

25:30

back in the library using the prehistoric microfiche

25:33

again. Scrolling through early October

25:35

two thou and eight editions of the Hollow Falls

25:38

Ledger to see, wait, this

25:40

is all wrong. The front page

25:42

of the newspaper is completely blank. What

25:45

are those numbers? The

25:47

newspaper front page on the day of my aunt

25:49

Beth's murder was not new to me. Someone

25:52

had tampered with the microfish and wiped

25:54

the story. In its place

25:57

was the number eight to three point nine,

25:59

followed by the letters G O L

26:03

eight two three. Well,

26:05

it can't be another date. When we

26:07

had first got into the library, we grabbed a

26:09

copy of Lord of the Flies by William

26:12

Golding because it has a deadly fall, R

26:14

I P. Piggy and a conk

26:17

shell. But the library copy of the book

26:19

had turned up nothing until now.

26:22

What you think the number could be the book? That's

26:24

the connection, like it's the eighth

26:27

book in the second it's the Dewey decimal

26:29

number. Look for Lord of the Flies.

26:31

The d D number is A to three

26:35

and the G O L has got to be Golding, not

26:38

bad Torres. How do we know what

26:40

book it is? What

26:42

about this one free

26:46

fall by guess who William Golding?

26:48

Seems appropriate? And there's

26:50

something stuck in between the pages open

26:53

it. There's

26:55

a note card and also

26:58

a highlighted passage. Are is

27:00

partly communication but only partly

27:03

The rest is discovery. What what

27:06

does the note say? Hello

27:09

again hollow falls? I have to say It's

27:11

so good to be back. Equally

27:14

delightful to find another young tourists

27:16

to play with. Who knew

27:19

all it take was one precocious little

27:21

team to get me all riled up again. Quite

27:24

the plot twist, don't you think? Keep

27:27

reading? This one's going to be a

27:29

real page turner. The

27:32

words even coming out of Ali's

27:34

mouth made my skin grow cold. The

27:37

lit killer is back and

27:39

they know who I am. How

27:42

much blood is on my hands now for reopening

27:45

this casket? What have I unleashed?

27:48

Things? Just got real. I'm

27:51

going to keep pressing and I'll

27:54

have another chunk of lethal It ready

27:56
