When he got back to the police station, he phoned Mr. Patel and asked him if his nephew would be interested in working for Mr. Wither. “Jump at the chance,” said Mr. Patel. “The laddie’s bored out o’ his skull.”

Hamish then went into the office and studied the phone bills. There was a message from Fiona on his answering machine, demanding why he had not phoned to report progress. Hamish repressed a sigh. Such as the inspector would never understand Hamish’s brand of policing, which was to help members of the public whenever possible.

He then settled down to check the phone numbers for the month preceding Gloria’s murder.

He underlined five calls to a Strathbane number, picked up the phone, got through to the operator, and started the trace. He prayed the calls would not have come from a throwaway mobile. At last he was told the number belonged to an M. Hartford, 201 Bevan Mansions, in Strathbane.

Hamish was delayed from setting out by Lugs banging his food bowl on the floor and Sonsie trying to climb up him. He gave them tins of animal food and they both stared at him accusingly. “Oh, stop sulking,” he said. “I’ll get you fish-and-chips on the road home.”
