One Dead Witness
“He went down the green channel - nothing to declare, other than being overweight. In the arrivals hall he was greeted by a man called Ollie Spencer who looked and acted something like a wartime spiv: quick, sharp features, trimmed moustache and a look which said he could get anything, any time.

‘Good trip?’ ‘Very good, Ollie. As a result of my little visit, our amuse...ment arcades will soon be kitted out with the latest video technology from the States and beyond. We’ll be streets ahead of the others. And not only that, for a very little effort, I’ll be able to make another hundred grand - but I’ll explain that one to you later.’ ‘Sounds good. Did you manage to have some fun as well?’ ‘Ollie - of course I did. Nice young fun.’ Spencer led Gilbert out through the sliding doors to where he had illegally parked the car - the vehicle in question being a stretch Rolls-Royce with darkened windows, hired for the occasion of Gilbert’s return home.MoreLess
