On his way to Chekushkin’s place, Maxim’s phone rang. It was his pal in immigration, with the information he’d asked for.

“The girl Helen Anna Clement came into the country with her mother direct from Britain about two weeks ago,” said the man. “Their visa expires in four weeks. The girl has never been to Russia before. Her mother, however, has been before, there is a record of a visa for her about two years ago.”

Maxim’s ears pricked up. “Did the mother fly direct from Britain back then? Or France, perhaps?”

“I thought you’d ask that, so I checked. She didn’t come straight from Britain. Or France. And she didn’t fly. She came in by train.”

“Did she come in to Petersburg from Finland by any chance?” said Maxim, eagerly. Finland was where Galkin had been killed, and the time frame was right.

“No. Into Moscow, overland from Belarus and Poland.”

Maxim thanked him and rang off. So that was it, then. Well, it had only been a possibility, he thought, as he turned into the street where Chekushkin lived.

If Skorpia’s apartment block had been shabby, this one was positively grim. With its facade riddled with concrete cancer, entrance awash with a tide of trash, including used syringes, dirty stairwell walls graffitied with obscene messages, it was the kind of place Maxim knew only too well, though he hadn’t been to this particular block before. Climbing wearily up the filthy stairs to the second floor – of course the elevator was not working here either, probably vandalized beyond repair years ago – he was thinking this would be a wild goose chase for Grisha would have made himself scarce, if he knew what was good for him. But when he got there and saw the splintered door, he knew, even before he saw the body sprawled on the ragged armchair like a grotesque rag doll, its throat cut from ear to ear, that Grisha Chekushkin hadn’t even had the most elementary notion of what was good for him.
