The Front (2007)
“Even from this distance, some two hundred yards away, the noise was deafening. She’d expected the police, but the TV crew took her completely by surprise. They were milling about like ants, shifting tall lights into different positions, putting up screens on stands to deflect the glare, and swinging fluffy microphones in great arcs above the crowd.
There was so much activity, she had to force herself to keep going. It would be stupid to run. Anyway, under normal circumstances, she’d ...be one of the first to gawp at something like this. As it was, there was a fair-sized crowd already gathered on the pavement, and more spilling over onto the road – local people, craning their necks to see beyond the line of police guarding the strips of blue-and-white tape separating them from the crime scene. There was a buzz in the air – everyone thrilled that yet another awful thing had happened, but disappointed not to have witnessed it.
Suzie casually made her way into the crowd, sure she’d be able to pick up what was happening by hanging back and asking a few discreet questions.MoreLess
