Lovejoy removed his hat and hung it on the hook beside his office door, then simply stood there for a moment, lost in thought, his gaze focused on nothing.

They were back again, all those niggling little doubts about Lord Devlin’s guilt, that feeling that there was more going on in the death of Rachel York than any of them had yet grasped. He knew it was unscientific, unempirical, maybe even irrational. But his intuition had been right too many times in the past for him to ignore it now.

With a shrug, he jerked his mind away from the sad-eyed woman he’d just met and set to work unwinding his scarf. He had his coat half-unbuttoned when his clerk, Collins, stuck his head around the corner.

“What is it?” asked Lovejoy, looking up.

“It’s about the Cyprian who got herself killed in that church, sir—that Rachel York. Constable Maitland thought you might like to know.”

Lovejoy paused with his coat half on, half off. “Know what?”

“We’ve just heard from the sexton of St. Stephen’s, sir. They’ve had grave robbers. Last night. And it was her grave what they hit.”

“Are you telling me someone has stolen Rachel York’s body?”

“Yes, sir. Constable Maitland, he thinks it’s just a coincidence, but—”

Collins let his voice trail away into nothing, for Sir Henry, his coat gripped distractedly in one hand, was already gone, leaving his hat and scarf still swaying on their hooks beside the door.
