The Face of Death (Barney Thomson)
“The town had come to life during the hours of darkness, as is the way of the Highlands during the winter, what with it not getting light until well into the morning.Barney sat alone at breakfast, head down in a corner, thinking. He was hoping that Theodore Wolf would not feel obliged to join him. Hoping and dreading at the same time the possibility of Lara Cameron sitting next to him. Not to know that Cameron and Crow were already up and out for the day, a crucial part of the investigation to b...e undertaken.
He tucked into the full Highland breakfast for the second morning in a row. Eggs, bacon, haggis, mushrooms, fried bread, tomatoes and three hundred and fourteen different types of sausage. More toast than you could shake a stick at and enough tea to drown a herd of bulls.
Towards the end of this marathon face-cramming-fest, his place cleared of all the essential coronary-inducing ingredients and only twenty-seven slices of toast still to be disposed of, he was considering the possibility of doing a grand dine and dash, leaving the hotel by a back door, not paying for any of it and heading onto the next hotel down the road.MoreLess
