CHAPTER

13

Fra Geraldo’s chapel had re-charged his interest—changed his idea of the old man and therefore of his death. He felt as if he had peeled flesh and bone off the would-be monk’s skull and looked into a heaving mass of maggots, into a hell of self-hatred and self-torment. Still, he understood no more of the death, although the symbolic violence of the chapel suggested that real violence might well have tracked the old man. He knew that he would try to make sense of it now—an old story with him, a sense of obligation to the unsolved.

He must make an effort to find the truth, Gianaculo and Donati and Maltby to the contrary. There was still ‘no evidence’ of unnatural death, at least not physical evidence; therefore, he must go elsewhere.

Would the old man speak to him from the Other Side? The idea was laughable without being comical. It made him want to spit.

Would a medium tell him how Fra Geraldo had died? Not a cat’s chance. But—just in case. That was always the catch. Just in case. He had promised to visit Fanning’s favourite medium, anyway.
