Following the shock revelations of the link between the DNA from Graham Nattrass and the unidentified woman, the Helmsdale team met early the next morning. Nash phoned Netherdale and asked Tom Pratt to join them, given his involvement in what was now a reopened investigation.

Mironova began by updating Pearce and Pratt on the news supplied by Brian Shaw and Mexican Pete. Following which, Nash asked them for their thoughts and ideas. ‘I don’t care how wild or irrelevant they might seem,’ he told them, ‘in fact, the way things are, the wilder the better.’

If anything could have been guaranteed to cause silence, it was this request. For some time it seemed that none of them would come up with anything constructive, until eventually, and with a great deal of hesitation, Pearce suggested, ‘What about this woman, Corinna Perry? She seems to be the one constant in all this other than Ray Perry. She is the only link I can see between what happened then and events now. Do we know anything about her? Her background and character, I mean?’

Nash thought this over for a moment. ‘Not a great deal,’ he admitted. ‘Wellings, the retired Met officer, told us she was involved in a lot of charity work, fund-raising and the like. He seemed to think she was a fairly decent sort of woman. I think he also said Corinna was a nurse or something, didn’t he?’

Clara nodded confirmation.

‘I reckon we ought to have another word with Sister Evangeline and see what she can tell us about Corinna Perry.’

‘Now that I think about it,’ Clara commented, ‘I got the impression Wellings might have been blinded by the fact that Corinna was an attractive woman.’

‘What makes you say that?’

‘He seems that type. He positively drooled over that photo of Frankie Da Silva, and it was all he could do to keep his eyes off my legs.’

‘That wasn’t exactly what I meant,’ Nash said dryly. ‘Why do you think he might be wrong?’

‘Because, if Corinna is such a saint, how come she keeps taking up with really dodgy characters? Max Perry was an evil, violent gangster, and by what we’ve heard, this Phil Miller sounds a whole lot worse.’

‘On the birds of a feather theory? I guess that makes sense. Give Sister Evangeline a call and see if she can come up with any info on Corinna. If we can find out where she hailed from or where she worked, we might be able to talk to someone who knew her then and get some idea as to what makes her tick.’

Their plans had to be put into abeyance, for Clara reported to Nash, ‘Sister Evangeline has gone into Newcastle. She isn’t due back until this evening.’

‘In that case, leave me the number and I’ll call her, no doubt you’ll be on the phone all evening to your beloved.’
