Last Nocturne (2008)
“Chief Inspector Philip Lamb hadn’t received an invitation, but he went along anyway, leaving it until he judged the crowds would have thinned and the exhibition would soon be closing.
He walked towards the gallery, deep in thought. Conscious that at some point or other he was going to have to re-question the Martagon family, he’d taken the first step that afternoon by making arrangements to see Guy Martagon the following day. It wasn’t a prospect he relished: delving much further into the priva...te life of Eliot Martagon than the previous enquiry at the time of his death had warranted wasn’t likely to be welcomed. After the first interview with Martagon’s widow following her husband’s death, she’d refused to see Lamb again. The daughter had been of no use either, completely crushed by the tragedy, and the son had been out of the country in some far-flung outpost of the British Empire at the time – so far away that he hadn’t been able to reach home in time for the funeral.MoreLess
