Under Orders (2006)
Under Orders
“I don’t mean physical impotence, although that too must be exasperating. My current frustration stemmed from my impotence to get on with my investigations into Huw’s death. I needed some Viagra for the mind.
I was also failing in my task for Archie Kirk, having done little to delve into the world of the internet gambler.
Today was now Friday, a whole week since the Gold Cup and two days since I had been to see Carlisle in Cheltenham. And there was still no word from him as to the result of the ...forensics.
I’d been to Sandown races the previous day and had spent a tedious time asking anyone and everyone why they thought Huw Walker had become a murder victim. Some suggested race fixing as a possible reason, most having seen the antics between Huw and Bill last week either live or on the television and misreading the cause, as I had done. No one had been able to suggest any names other than Bill Burton as the likely murderer, many easily believing that, by killing himself, Bill had as good as confessed.MoreLess

The spray of blood HIGH against the wall behind the seated body shows he'd been shot whilst standing up and then put down on the seat. No one noticed this yet.

The row between Burton ad Hew could have been because they'd planned to win clearly by several lengths and the horse won only by a nose, meaning in great danger of losing the race.

What were Rosie and Marina doing OUTSIDE on the pavement, when they should have been inside in the lobby waiting for sid to pick her up. This sounds completely stupid and against the guarded care that they had been taking.Write Review:
