Down at the end of the hall nearest the landing and the stairs, Bennis Hannaford was sitting cross-legged, writing notes in the margins of her galleys that she knew she was going to have to black out later. They had a lot of four-letter words in them, and even more sarcasm. They were the kinds of things that made copyeditors and proofreaders quit in tears, or threaten to sue. Bennis couldn’t help herself. She was exhausted. She was agitated. She wasn’t going to be able to get to sleep for hours. She had to do something.

When the knock came on the door, Bennis had just finished her fourth cigarette in a chain of cigarettes, a chain that she had every intention of going on with until she could go downstairs for breakfast. She took a deep drag of it and went to her door.

“Who is it?”

“Gregor,” Gregor said.

Bennis opened up and ushered him inside. “Come on in,” she told him. “I’m just sitting on my bed quietly going mad.”

Gregor sat down on the stool to Bennis’s vanity table and stretched out his legs.

“Stop going mad for a moment and try to concentrate,” he said. “This is important. I want you to tell me everything you know about the death of Lilith Brayne.”
