The Liberators (2010)
“Chapter Four It wasn’t raining any more, and in the pure winter sunlight the houses looked almost unreal, as if they were in a television adaptation.

As he walked across the square to Number 43, Ivo wondered how deeply Perkins was involved with the murder. It could be a coincidence that he had been there at the station.
