from previous--

the  police  took the  book in their  custody  wrapping  it  up  with  gloved  hands  in a  roll as  if  it  was  a  relic  of  a  fossilised  extinct  creature, but  they  found  nothing  , so  she  took charge  of  the  book and  started her  own investigation, there  wee  no  folded  pages, no  remarks, no  comments,no messages, , near  the garage  was  a  forest  so  the lights  were  always  kept  on during the  day  also  because  it  casted  long  dark  shadows
