A Sticky End (2010)
A Sticky End
“WHAT kind of mood was Bartlett in when last they spoke? Why would Bartlett, who had set such store by getting Morgan alone for the weekend, suddenly decide to pick up a piece of rough trade at a notorious pub? Why would he put so much at risk—his marriage, his professional reputation, not to mention his friendship with Morgan—for the uncertain pleasures of a casual encounter? And, above all, what had happened after the wild enjoyments of the bathroom to pitch Frank Bartlett into suicidal despai...r? Morgan isn’t the most sensitive of souls, but even he would have noticed something that dramatic.
But, as it was, there were no witnesses. At the time of his death, Bartlett was alone in a locked room without other means of access. Nobody could have spoken to him after Durran left, after his last indistinct communication with Morgan. Certainly, nobody could have snuck into the bathroom and murdered him. It was suicide, all right—but why? The obvious interpretation, and the one the police would surely jump to if they even sniffed the truth, was that Bartlett had killed himself out of remorse for his shameful, unnatural actions.MoreLess
