Cry for the Baron (2014)
““We’ve started to make it, there’s a long way to go. What floor are we on?”
“Basement” Green stood in the middle of the passage and looked left; several doors opened from the passage. The ceiling was high, the walls papered expensively in yellow, and a thick brown carpet stretched from wall to wall. Mannering glanced right; only one door was in that direction, standing ajar. He moved towards it, and Green muttered: “Don’t waste time!”
Mannering said: “This is going to be rough on you.” ...He jabbed his clenched right fist at Green’s chin, snapped the man’s teeth together, and struck again. Green’s eyes rolled as he sagged backwards. Mannering stopped him from falling, supported him and dragged him along the passage to the door on the right. He kicked the door open. The passage light shone on a small, bare room, with whitewashed walls, a chair, a small table. On a table was a large crucible, which glowed red even now.MoreLess
