Drifting among blackouts, hallucinations and long days of morphine-muted delirium, he stitches together a history for Nuala as an archetypal carefree country girl, all windblown red hair and stylized pink cheeks. But since Blatchley is also an intellectual (his police beat was forged and stolen art), he isn't satisfied with...
