Out on the street they went into their act. Norrie took Lexie’s hand and Fergie put his arm around Sharon. The women leaned into them, for all the world just two couples enjoying Friday evening in the capital. What could be less conspicuous? Tomorrow, when the police launched a manhunt, nobody would remember two guys and two girls on Euston Road.

They strolled, chatting and smiling, to the Greene Man on Euston Road. Fergie went to the bar and came back with drinks and crisps. They sat close together, playing the games men and women play in public, the girls giving their partners a playful slap when their fingers strayed too far. Only the keenest observer would notice the off-note – they hardly touched the alcohol. What they were about demanded clear heads and cold hearts.

Norrie checked outside: the car was there. Back in the pub, a barely noticeable nod of his head told his partners-in-crime everything was going as planned.

Further down the street, Marcus saw them coming towards him and drew a hand over his brow. The strangers got into the car; he didn’t look at their faces – his interest in them was nil. After tonight, they’d never meet again. His eyes went to the rear-view mirror. When the road was clear, he tapped the accelerator, edged out, and headed towards the river.
