Silver Guilt (2012)
“Ever. But when he phoned me, gibbering with terror, I managed to squeeze a drop of compassion for him. I couldn’t make out anything except the word ‘police’.

They’re putting purple gloves on and looking at everything.’ ‘Ask to see their search warrant,’ I said. ‘I’m on my way.’ It was hard to tell who was more pleased to see me, DS Morris or Lord Elham.
