The envelope lay on the flagstones, just inside the front door and Tessa saw it as she opened the inner door. No address, no stamp, hand-delivered. Her name was written on the front, or a version of her name at any rate. Tessa Kilpatrick. She wasn’t bothered about her title, but it was unusual for other people not to use it. Ripping the envelope open and unfolding the single sheet of paper, Tessa gave a sharp intake of breath at the message written there.

Your husband got what he deserved. Stop interfering. You won’t like what you find out.

‘Tessa?’ Bill had noticed the way she froze. She passed him the note and heaved open the front door. Tessa looked up and down the street but no-one was in sight. Bill looked puzzled. She snatched the note back, scrutinising the handwriting.

‘This must been delivered while we’ve been here. It wasn’t on the mat when we arrived.’

‘No.’ Tessa thought about that. ‘Do you think someone followed us here?’ She shivered. Having assumed that his murder was due to his complicated love affairs or some aspect of his army service, it had never struck Tessa that she might be at risk from whoever had murdered James. The word ‘interfering’ was interesting, she thought. Whoever wrote this seemed to know that Tessa was taking an interest in the case that went beyond what had happened to James. Did they also know that she’d been at McKenzie’s murder scene, or that she and Bill were searching for a link between the two men, or that Inspector Rasmussen was considering their theories?

However disconcerting it was to find this on her doormat, Tessa took some comfort in the fact that this note wasn’t a threat in itself, just a warning that she might discover truths she’d rather not know. All the same though…

‘Come on, we need to get back and get cracking. We have a murderer to catch and this letter,’ she took the envelope from Bill and stuffed it into her coat pocket, ‘rather indicates that they know we’re looking for them.’
