The Dark Lady (2012)
The Dark Lady
“As Bob Rutter ran his eyes along the metal counter and up the round metallic pillars, he felt as if he were in a spaceship – and then he realised, with considerable chagrin, that that was a very Woodendish sort of thing to think.
“We deliberately made the place very modern, you see,” said the enthusiastic man who was sitting at the opposite side of the black glass table. “A thoroughly modern image for a thoroughly modern company – that was the thinking behind it. Certainly impresses our visitor...s from overseas, I can tell you that.”
Robin Quist, the head of the personnel department in Hereford, had wispy brown hair and cheeks which just avoided being plump. He was younger than the sergeant had expected him to be, and considerably less self-important than his opposite number at BCI’s Maltham plant. In fact, he seemed remarkably open and honest for someone in his job – though Rutter hadn’t yet dismissed the idea that it could all be a front.
