A Necessary End
“The Rossghyll Guest House proved to be a dead end, and all the train crews out of York had been too busy to remember anyone, but an Edinburgh barber phoned to say he recognized Paul Boyd’s photograph in the morning paper. Though Banks found the man’s accent difficult to understand, he managed to learn what Paul’s new haircut looked like. Even more important, he discovered that Paul had ditched his red anorak for a new grey duffle coat.
As soon as he hung up, Banks checked the map. Paul had head...ed north rather than to London or Liverpool. That had been a clever move; it had gained him time. But now that his photograph was on the front page of all the tabloid dailies, his time was running out. In addition to getting the photo in the papers as soon as possible, Banks and his men had also circulated Boyd’s description to police in all major cities, ports and airports. It was routine, the best they could do with limited knowledge, but now there was somewhere concrete to start.
Assuming that Paul would ultimately want to leave the country, Banks took out his AA road map and ran his finger up the outline of the Scottish coast looking for ways out.MoreLess
