The tobacco crackles and blazes as the yellow flame tickles the tip of the cigarette. Amanda Chan breathes in deeply, gazes out of the window, then sips from her coffee cup. Her brow creases.

‘Why would a random detective turn up here to ask about Sebastian Thorne? They must have better things to do.’ She lazily mulls over the question without finding an adequate answer.
