It was already after six. As Mick got up to leave, I asked him to run Napper through the police computer. ‘Robert Clive Napper, born February 25, 1966, one criminal conviction: possession of an airgun in a public place, 1986.’

‘Sounds like a menace, at least to the local rabbit population,’ he laughed.

I had a feeling about Napper. But I didn’t want to present it half-cocked at Monday morning’s briefing. I needed to connect Napper to the rape he’d boasted about. If I pinpointed that rape – the rape he’d confessed to his own mum – we could cross-reference it forensically with any DNA and prints found at 21 Sangora Road. This new twist made me realise I had to go through all of the remaining paperwork – and back again through the cases on the computer – to cross-reference all rapes on London Commons between June and September ’89.

Before getting stuck in, I called Gabby to say I couldn’t make it over tonight.

‘What a shame,’ she said, ‘it’s so unusual for the house to be empty. And I’ve bought all this lovely food.’

My body groaned.

‘Were there going to be candles?’

‘I can confirm there were going to be candles,’ she giggled, ‘and Shiraz.’

‘I’m truly sorry,’ I said, ‘mostly for me.’

‘You’re missing out, I can assure you of that, Donal,’ she teased, ‘I’d even tidied my room.’

‘Wow, I’ve seen your room. That’s commitment. You must be exhausted?’

‘I’ve got more stamina than that,’ she giggled.

‘Okay, I think under some UN guideline this actually constitutes torture. I can’t take another second.’

‘Wimp!’
