Cherringham--Blade in the Water (2015)
“The House on the River 9. The House on the River Jack walked down the terraced lawns of Magnusson’s house towards the river and took in the gorgeous view.
The sun shining brilliantly, the Thames below sparkling as it flowed.
In the fields along its banks bright flags fluttered from white marquees. On either side of the Magnusson estate he could see ancient woodland stretching down to the water.
The whole scene would have been perfect … Had it not been for the two tall men in sunglasses and dark... suits who accompanied him as he walked.
They’d been waiting for him in the lobby of the house when he arrived. Not threatening, just the right side of intimidating.
But sending a signal nevertheless.
He’d phoned ahead to make an appointment — when he’d described his business as ‘urgent and confidential’ the male voice at the other end of the phone had agreed to the meeting with his boss.
Although there had been the warning: “Mr. Magnusson is a very busy man and you will have twenty minutes of his time only, Mr.MoreLess
