Dr. Rosewood is a Private Pathology Consultant and what that means is that he is not the actual coroner. He’s more the guy they call when it gets too busy down at the coroner’s office. Yet, despite his lack of a badge or official standing, Rosewood does like to stick his nose into police business.
Call it curiosity if you will but so far he’s managed to tick off more than a few people by providing evidence that completely obliterates their theories. So the police department does occasionally find him to be a nuisance but the one thing that everyone can agree on is that Rosewood is talented.
He sees what many dismiss. And he’s usually never wrong. So when his mother came to him about a former student of hers – she wanted to know if she and the recently deceased’s family were right to suspect foul play.
Nora Grayson was a talented young woman and sadly she died in an apparent car crash. Yet Nora didn’t like driving. People that knew had have even said that it put her on edge. Thus, with her being known as that skittish, why did the official report on her death claim she was doing over 90 mph on a highway?
It simply did not make sense and that’s why Rosewood’s mother alerted her son to the case. She asked him to look into it and he did so at first as a favor to her but then he too began having doubts about how she died. So he approached the new detective that had closed Nora’s file and, regardless of their chemistry, he had to convince her that she wrong with her initial assessment.
If he hadn’t then she would never have reopened the case.
But getting Detective Annalise Villa to admit she was wrong was a quite battle. And then getting her to accept him as a partner was just one fight after another. Villa didn’t want a partner and she in fact appeared to loathe the idea of one.
So working together was a headache. Villa didn’t like Rosewood’s methods and he didn’t need her to be always the bad cop. That routine of hers got them nowhere. And it also broke a suspect’s nose.
Rosewood was able to fix that nose but Villa was soon upset with him again after he cleared their only suspect. Nora’s boyfriend had been drinking a lot on the night that Nora died. Plus he was allegedly angry with her for cheating on him so Villa would have been happy to say that the boyfriend was their killer. Yet Rosewood proved to her and funnily enough to the boyfriend as well that said boyfriend was drugged on the night in question.
Back at his office, Rosewood’s sister and future sister-in-law had done their thing with the toxicology reports and they found evidence of someone using horse tranquillizer on Nora right before she died. So that meant whoever killed her by first drugging her and then planting a block of dry ice under her foot so that it appeared she was driving – went into great detail just to kill her. Almost as if they have experience with that sort of thing.
And when Rosewood’s sister Pippy found something else in the toxology that too led to more information on their killer.
Evidence was found that proved Nora had been frequently taking motion sickness drugs and that means she was constantly on a boat. Later the strict records at the marina told the detective which boat she was visiting. But when a found a boat and a matching suspect – they walked in on an apparent suicide. It looked like Arthur Briggs had killed himself and that he also wasn’t concerned about leaving his packages of drugs just lying around anymore.
Villa found bags upon bags of this new thing called black cocaine. So her boss wanted to tie up the case right then and there. And he probably would have if it weren’t for Villa. Arthur being a drug dealer that killed Nora in order to keep her from talking was simply too neat. Especially as Arthur’s boat has not moved in the last two years thereby disproving that theory.
So while they were able to connect Arthur to Nora, Villa knew that neither of them had been using Arthur’s boat to distribute anything.
Though calling upon one of Rosewood’s many friends proved to be invaluable. Joo-Joo was heavy on the part circuit and he knew Arthur. Which showed that Arthur involved with a drug trade. And that the entire case was someone tidying up after thermsleves.
Joo-Joo told Villa, under a lot of “persuasion” that Arthur and Nora both worked on a DJ Prince’s yacht. Nora was a hostess and Arthur drove the yacht itself. But Arthur was also a distributer. So DJ Prince’s yacht was a front.
On the outside, it looked like the perfect place to party but on the inside the DJ was caught up with the cartel.
And though he was good at getting rid of people, he wasn’t smart enough not to confess on video when he was up against both Villa and Rosewood. So, in the end, Villa finally admitted that she and Rosewood do make a good team.
And who knows, after she’s finished mourning her husband’s sudden death from a pulmonary embolism, Villa might just see Rosewood as something more.
