Close Call (2015)
“Like many people who have never been in trouble with the law, Carol Smart was diffident, even apprehensive, about entering a police station. The Oldford one was a busy place at this time of the morning, with the latest duty rosters being implemented and John Lambert concluding his briefing to his murder team on the latest developments in the Robin Durkin case. But as soon as she told the station sergeant why she had come, Mrs Smart was shown straight through into the office of the superintenden...t.
‘How can I help you?’ Lambert was all smiling urbanity; it wasn’t often that suspects in a murder case came voluntarily into the lion’s den.
‘I felt that there was something you ought to know. Something I’d kept from you previously. Something you were probably going to find out for yourselves, which might look bad for me.’ The ideas came tumbling out in a rush, and she could feel that she was speaking too quickly. Now that she had finally come here, she felt foolish, as if she had been caught out in some naïve overreaction to events.MoreLess
