Maxwell looked at the E-fit again in the brief glow from Jacquie’s courtesy light. He had gone to the station late that afternoon when the DCI had gone home to tease his problems over a gin and tonic on the patio. He knew a friendly Woman Policeman who knew a computer whizzo who knew which buttons to press.

‘I can remember when these things were done by an artist,’ he said. ‘Budding Van Goghs were queuing up for the job.’

‘Too many variables.’ She closed the door. ‘Artistic licence gets in the way. Computers don’t have interpretation. Still think it’s a good likeness?’

‘Of the man I saw in the Little Teachers’ Room at yon hostelry only a week since? Yes, I do. Smaller eyes, perhaps. Oh, God, Jacquie, I don’t know. How sure can you be? A total stranger in the gents – chaps that piss in the night.’

She snorted in spite of herself. ‘Let’s get you home, Peter Maxwell, before we both turn into pumpkins.’

‘Does this mean you aren’t coming across … er … over?’

She thwacked him with the E-fit before belting up and hitting the ignition. ‘Early start tomorrow. We’re trying to reconstruct Paula Freeling’s known movements.’

‘No chance of me talking to the Ofsted team, I suppose?’

She eased off the brake and the Ka purred down the hill towards the sea. ‘Absolutely none,’ she said. ‘I suppose there’s no point in me asking you not to show that E-fit to Olly Carson?’

He shook his head in the darkness. ‘Absolutely none,’ he said.
