Chris had been busy. ‘Okay, first of all, I’ve checked out the relatives, and the victims.’

‘And?’

‘Bits and pieces but I doubt any of it helps us.’

‘Tell me anyway,’ Clare said, hanging up her jacket.

‘Right, so, Andy Robb, nothing. Angela Robb – cautioned for a breach of the peace, five years ago. No action taken.’

‘That it?’

‘Yeah, she’s clean otherwise. Grew up on the Broughty Ferry Road in Dundee. You know, just the other side of the River Tay?’

‘I know where Dundee is, thank you!’

‘Just checking. Went to local schools, nothing else of note. Both parents dead now. One sister in Canada.’

‘Checked?’

‘Yeah, she’s still there.’

‘Okay,’ Clare said. ‘And Billy Dodds?

‘Ah well now – he’s been a naughty boy. One conviction for receiving stolen goods, admittedly seven years ago, and an assault ten years ago.’

‘Did he do time?’

Chris shook his head. ‘Suspended sentence for the assault, probably because the other lad had previous. Fine for the other one.’

Clare nodded. ‘Anything else of note?’

‘Nah. He’s clean, otherwise.’

‘Okay. Next?’

‘Nat Dryden has no pre-cons and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. According to his sister Cindy, he’s not had one recently, as far as she knows.’

Clare thought back to the clutter and mess in Nat’s house. ‘Yes, I can believe that. How about Cindy?’

‘Nothing at all. She and Nat are both local to St Andrews and she’s never been in bother.’

‘Which leaves the Gilmartins. I’m guessing nothing there.’

‘Nope. Both squeaky clean. In fact, she’s about as clean as it gets. Her father was a high court judge.’

‘Really? Who was he?’

‘Alexander Russell. Now Lord Russell of Findale.’

‘Crikey. No wonder the DCI’s keeping in with her.’

‘Yep. Our Jennifer went to private school in Perthshire then spent two years at Edinburgh University. Not sure what she studied but she left after that. Worked in Daddy’s office for a few years, helping out, while playing tennis and hanging about with the county set. Married Bruce Gilmartin when she was twenty-four and hasn’t worked since. I’m guessing she’s a lady who lunches.’ He shook his head. ‘Nice work if you can get it.’

Clare sat mulling this over. ‘On balance,’ she said, ‘I think I’d rather not be married to someone like Bruce Gilmartin, even if it does mean working all the hours God sends for very little thanks.’

‘Suppose.’

Clare stretched out her legs, making circles with her ankles. She yawned. ‘God I’m tired, Chris. So – anything else?’

Chris shuffled through the printouts until he found the one he needed. ‘Land Rovers. I’ve a list of all vehicles first registered ten and eleven years ago. There are only two within fifty miles of here. Our stolen one – you know, Fergus Bain’s – and one out at Cairnharrow Farm.’

Clare searched her memory. The name wasn’t familiar. ‘Where’s that?’

‘Over towards Cupar. I can go now and check it if you like?’

‘See if there’s anyone at Cupar who could look at it for us. Check for damage. Save us some time.’ Clare checked her watch. ‘Let’s get some lunch. The rest of the team should be heading back soon.
