Bad Boy
“DO COME AND JOIN me in the den, Mr. Banks and Ms…. er?”
“Jackman. DS Winsome Jackman.”
“Winsome. What a delightful name. And one that, might I say, most certainly does you justice.”
Banks glanced at Winsome, and he could tell by her expression that she was wishing she hadn’t told Fanthorpe her first name. As Fanthorpe led the way she put her finger in her mouth and mimicked vomiting. Banks smiled.
The den was an unabashedly masculine room, from the dark wainscoting and the rosewood-and-mother-o...f-pearl chessboard, with its intricately carved ebony and ivory pieces, to the mounted brass telescope by the bay window, the mounted stag’s head and the framed racing scenes on the wall. Four maroon-red leather-upholstered armchairs were arranged around a solid oak antique table at the center. Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik played from hidden speakers.
The Farmer walked over to the cocktail cabinet and brought out three crystal tumblers and a decanter. He was wearing baggy brown cords and a cable sweater knit from Swaledale wool.MoreLess
