The Sixth Estate (The Craig Crime Series)
“November 2014 “Would you like to say anything, Superintendent?”
Craig stared through the window, his thoughts elsewhere. It was a surprisingly small window for such an imposing room, with a tree outside so large that it shaded them cosily on the bright winter day.
