FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 19 of 'Permanent Ink', Inspector Liebenberg is stressed over the lack of progress on the Newton case due to a backlog in analysing DNA evidence, with pressure increasing from the prosecutor's office for results. When Constable Mentoor brings news, she interrupts his phone call. Mentoor reveals a plastic bag containing a new letter from the 'Romeo and Juliet Killer' - Morpheus, and assures him that no new murders have occurred. They are busy testing the envelope for prints, but Liebenberg is neither surprised nor hopeful about finding any. She mentions it was delivered unnoticed due to a disruptive protest outside their station, leading Liebenberg to humorously wish for better staffing. The constable excusing her colleagues leaves Liebenberg alone with the letter. The letter from Morpheus communicated directly to him; he recognizes this communication is crucial as it is the first since the last murders. Hesitant but compelled, he reads the letter aloud. Morpheus mocks the inspector's investigations and asserts his supremacy, claiming to hold the power to choose his victims and determine their fate. The arrival of another message from Morpheus worries Liebenberg, as he perceives this as a sign of an ever-present, increasingly infuriated serial killer.

FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk negentien worstel Inspekteur Liebenberg met bekostigingsprobleme vir DNS-toetse wat verband hou met 'n ander saak genaamd die Newton-saak. Terwyl hy hieroor bekommerd is, kom konstabel Mentoor met 'n nuwe stuk kommunikasie van die "Romeo-en-Juliet-reeksmoordenaar", bekend as Morfeus. Liebenberg tree met afwagting op en hy is versteld dat daar nie nog 'n moord gepleeg is nie - slegs die brief. Konstabel Mentoor verduidelik dat niemand iets gesien het toe die brief afgelewer is nie en inspekteur Liebenberg spreek sy frustrasie uit oor die gebrek aan oplettendheid in sy span. Hy voel dat hy moontlik beter sou vaar met 'n span laerskoolprefekte. Hy lees die brief, wat blyk 'n bedreiging te wees van Morfeus, wat hom laat weet dat hy (Morfeus) al die kontrole het en dat hulle tyd mors met Dr. Badenhorst. Morfeus dreig dat hy bepaal wie die volgende slagoffers sal wees en wanneer dit sal gebeur. Die hoofstuk eindig met Liebenberg wat besef dat die situasie nou selfs meer gespanne is, met 'n klaarblyklik woedende reeksmoordenaar aan die los.
