The Baker Street Letters
“There were now two murders to account for. The police on both affected continents apparently were not in communication yet—but Mendoza might at this moment be checking with Scotland Yard.
Whether the authorities would eventually try to distribute the culpability evenly—like Mum distributing biscuits, one for Nigel and one for Reggie—or just gang up both murders on one or the other was still to be determined, but neither prospect was appealing.
Reggie could see one thing in common between the tw...o events, though, and that was the young woman who both wrote the letters and—apparently—knew the second victim.
He took a taxi back to Mara’s flat. If he was to get any information from her at all, he would have to reach her before the police did.
He went up the stairs and knocked on the same door he had the day before.
No response.
He knocked again, and still no response.
That had to mean she was out walking that dog. He would have heard it rushing the door otherwise. She would be back.MoreLess
