Yesterday. Frome Police Station.

“That’s what you’re relying on for evidence these days, is it?” said Eric disdainfully. “Some long-range CCTV footage of man in a crater wearing a fireman’s uniform. Have you considered that it might be an actual member of the fire service?”

“We’ve already checked. They have GPS trackers these days, and there was no one on site at that time.”

“That still doesn’t prove it was us, though, does it?” argued Eric.

“No, but this does.”

Iris threw a tatty wallet on the table. Most men’s wallets were indistinguishable from each other, at least from the outside. They were usually leather, pocket-sized and plain. It was unlikely anyone would confuse theirs for this one. It was made from a strange blue fabric and had the word ‘FOXIE’ embroidered in red thread on the front. Even Eric found it difficult to offer an alternative explanation for this one.

“It’s a very common nickname.”

“The army disposal team were a little surprised to find a bomb had been substituted for this.”

“I’ve got to say, it really doesn’t look good for Josh.”

“Or you.”

“How so?”

“You gave me Josh Foxole’s name as your alibi,” she said, confidently reeling him in for the catch.

“Yeah, I did, didn’t I. Not looking great, is it?”

“No, but I’m struggling to understand why you’re still smiling like the cat who got the cream.”

“Honestly,” he replied, “I’m enjoying myself.”

“Sorry?” she muttered a little confused.

“It’s not every day you meet a worthy opponent.” He pretended to doff his cap in appreciation. “And you certainly are one. Could I ask you a question, Inspector?”

“I suppose...”

“In the video footage you showed me from last night, it’s impossible to see the hearse’s registration plates - so how did you trace the vehicle back to Barry?”

“I was already looking for it.”

“How so?”

“Because I was in Exeter when they found the bomb.”
