Clement sat in Lowe’s office. A minute before twelve, Lowe’s phone rang. ‘Escort him to the mortuary, would you Preston? We’ll meet you there.’ Lowe hung up. ‘After you, Clement.’

McCowage met them at the door. Clement could see the union official was a large man, thick set with heavy jowls and rough hands.

‘Ever seen a dead body before, Mr…’ McCowage asked.

‘Keenan. Only my old mother.’

‘Not quite the same. This way then, Mr Keenan,’ McCowage said, opening the door wide.

‘I’m Inspector Lowe. This man is my assistant,’ Lowe said, indicating Clement.

Clement nodded but didn’t speak.

McCowage drew back the shroud. ‘Holy Mother! It’s Charlie Manning.’

‘Does he have a family? Wife?’

‘She died a few years ago. No kids that I know of. I’ll take a collection for his funeral and wake. We’ll see him done right.’

‘Know anything of his private life?’ Lowe asked.

‘Not much,’ Keenan shrugged. ‘He lived in Woolloomooloo. Above the pub. Kept to himself.’ Keenan scratched his head. ‘Although, once I saw him collected from work in a car by a very swanky woman. I remember wondering what she would want with him. He had nothing much, expect brawn. Strong bloke.’

Clement rubbed his shoulder. ‘Do you know where he was working recently?’

‘He was at Garden Island with about a thousand others on the night shift.’
