Hamish drove back up to the McQueens’ villa. There was no sound of the chain saw that he could hear. He rang the doorbell and, after waiting for a few minutes, decided to walk round to the garden at the back. It was a beautiful day, and he wished with all his heart that the murder could be solved and that he would be once more free to laze around and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

Once in the back garden, he froze with horror, barely able to believe the sight that met his eyes.

Gloria McQueen’s dead head had been placed on the bole of one of the fallen silver birches. Her body lay some feet away. There was blood sprayed everywhere, turning the leaves on the fallen trees into a macabre travesty of autumn.

He backed away carefully so as not to compromise the crime scene and phoned Jimmy. Then he phoned Dick and went out to the front of the house to wait.

What had Gloria seen over at Drim? She must have phoned someone as soon as he had left. He guessed she enjoyed power, and meeting him must have jolted her memory.

Like the murder of Mrs. Colchester, he was sure this was a hate crime.
