Dead in the Water
“From the sound of his activities, he was breaching the terms of his licence anyway, but having thought at first that this was an open-and-shut case, Fleming now had to consider there might be more to it than that.
Jaki Johnston had held herself together long enough to point out where she had seen the figure in the shrubbery and give more details and times – ten to ten-thirty on both occasions – but when Tony Laidlaw appeared, his face dark with concern, she stumbled into his arms and her legs g...ave way. He was a fit man and she was small and slight; he picked her up, said only, ‘She needs to get out of here,’ and vanished again. A man of action, obviously.

The ground was hard with the night frost, but even so she made a wide circuit to approach the site from the side furthest away from the house. Footprint technology was very advanced now, and even in these conditions they might get something from the area round about, though evidence from the terrace would be hopelessly compromised already by the activities of the paramedics and others.MoreLess
