Crooked Herring (2014)
“Hi. I think that there may be some concern that I haven’t been in contact lately. This is just to let you know that all is well but I can’t tell you where I am at present, except that I am nolonger in England. Sorry to be a bit mysterious. All will be revealed in due course, as they say. In the meantime, please tell nobody about this text unless you have to. Crispin.
Then, almost immediately, the relief started to trickle away into the metaphorical sands and very real doubt set in. Anyone c...ould send a message and sign it Crispin. And why was Crispin sending the message to me anyway? Surely he would contact Henry or even Emma. I would be way down the list, after many other, much closer friends, his agent, his editor, his publicist, his builder … There would be dozens of people for whom this information would be more important. Unless he knew I was looking for him. I checked the mobile number that the message had come from. It was unfamiliar to me. But I had Crispin’s number on my phone from when Henry had tried to contact him.MoreLess
