A Bloody Nuisance

Will Burke was the type who tends to wear on people's nerves. He wants to be friendly, but ends up being irritating.
He tries too hard.
Sandy Frenton is a female version of Will. As was often heard in the places they frequented, "They're a couple of bloody nuisances!"
That must have given somebody an idea. It wasn't meant to be taken literally.
Sgt. Andy Betts is assigned the case. It's his first homicide. His ability with this one could make or break his being on the next promotions list. His experience is with the academy and a lot of reading.
A bit of investigation told Andy there was something more behind the murders. Something sinister.
