When she arrives at Luton, Neva abandons Adrienne’s passport and her disguise in the airport toilet once she’s through customs. Then she starts using her Dutch identity and cards again.

With her natural, strawberry-blonde hair scraped back into a ponytail, she makes her way into Central London via train to St Pancras. While she’s travelling, she books herself a last-minute hotel in Soho because she needs a base to work from.

The journey from Luton only takes thirty-three minutes and so Neva is soon leaving the station, keeping her head down, and avoiding all of the cameras there that she knows about. Outside she joins the black-cab taxi-rank queue.

When she reaches the front of the line, she approaches the next black cab and tells the driver her destination. He gives her an odd look through his rear-view mirror as she climbs into the back. As they pull away the driver starts to ask her questions about her trip. Neva is deliberately vague in her answers.

‘Look… be careful who you talk to here,’ the taxi driver says. ‘There’s been a few murders.’

‘Really?’ Neva says, speaking with a Dutch accent.

‘Yeah. Girls who… look a bit like you, to be honest,’ he says. ‘It’s why I’m asking what you’re doing here. I saw on the news that an Irish girl might have been groomed by the killer first…’

As they stop at some traffic lights, he passes her a newspaper through the screen between them. ‘Front page,’ he says.

Neva finds herself looking at the pictures of four women. The Irish girl the driver had mentioned had been visiting London for the first time. There was an older woman – a divorcee, a business woman and a livery stable owner. All of whom have nothing in common except for their physical appearance.

Neva speed reads the article and when they reach her destination, she thanks the driver, giving him an American-style tip of 20 per cent.

She registers at her accommodation. Then, because the driver knows the address, she immediately checks out. She goes on her app and finds alternative accommodation elsewhere. When she’s finally settled, she changes into jeans, T-shirt and trainers. She places a woollen hat over her hair to disguise her appearance and then she heads off, looking for all intents and purposes like a tourist. By then it’s late afternoon.

She makes her way to London Bridge and to the building where Michael works. At this point she isn’t sure how she’s going to get inside, but she knows she has to see Michael and try and talk to him face to face. For this reason, she plans to be around when he leaves work that night.
