THE new victim's name was Adrian Calder, thirty-five years old.
Lewis had read the file several times in the days since the body was identified. Adrian lived alone in a narrow apartment above a stationery shop on Marlow Street. There was no record of parents or siblings in the city, and the case notes suggested he had spent most of his childhood moving between group homes.
Medical records showed he had been diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder in his late twenties. The condition meant he likely struggled with social connections and held unusual beliefs or perceptions. People with this disorder often came across as odd or eccentric to others. They tended to have few close relationships and had trouble understanding social cues or how their behavior affected people around them. Some developed paranoid thoughts or believed in special powers like telepathy.
By the time Adrian reached adulthood, he had settled into a quiet routine that rarely changed.
