　　The road to the top of Calton Hill goes up behind the old Royal High School, a beautiful building that in Logan's opinion should have been used to house the new Scottish government. Instead, millions of pounds had been wasted on a new building. About halfway up the hill Logan pulled her car over to the side of the road behind two police cars and an old blue Volvo. She recognised Helen Robertson, the police doctor, among a group of police officers near a wall some metres below the level of the road. As she got out of her car, Logan turned and looked up towards the Nelson Monument and the City Observatory. She thought that the view from the top of Calton Hill was one of the best over the city - well, it was when there wasn't a dead body on the side of the hill.
　　Walking down through the long grass by the side of the road, Logan could see the body of the young woman,lying half on her side with her back against the wall.Helen Robertson, who had been bending over the body examining it, stood up when she saw Logan arrive.
　　Robertson had dark hair and was wearing black trousers and a light blue blouse. She and Logan had worked together before on a number of cases and had always got on well.
　　‘Jenny, hi!' she said. She took a deep breath. 'It's ari unpleasant one, I'm afraid.'
　　Logan said nothing. She just looked down and studied the body and its position. She waited for Robertson to speak.
　　‘Young woman, blonde, mid-twenties, possibly a bit younger. I don't know who she is. She's been strangled but it wasn't done here.'
　　Logan looked up sharply when Robertson mentioned how the woman had died.
　　‘The body was brought here sometime after death,' continued Robertson. 'She was also hit on the head at sometime, and her hands have been tied.'
　　Logan bent down to have a closer look at the woman's body. She was wearing a pink T-shirt and a dark blue skirt.
　　‘A sex attack?' asked Logan.
　　‘I don't think so, but I can't be sure until I've done some scientific tests,' replied Helen. 'There don't seem to be any cuts or marks on the lower part ofher body.'
　　‘What about the time of death?' asked Logan.
　　‘Again, I'll know more when I've done some tests,'said Robertson, 'but at a guess I'd say about eighteen to twenty hours ago.'
　　Logan looked at her watch. It was five o'clock.
　　‘So sometime between ten and midnight last night, then.'
　　‘That sounds right,' said Robertson. 'Look, I'll do the tests and the scientific examination first thing in the morning, and ifl find anything interesting I'll give you a call.'
　　‘Great,' said Logan, and she put her hand lightly on Robertson's arm in thanks.
　　Robertson bent down again and started to pack her things into a small black bag.
