‘No. He hasn’t shown up yet.’ Unless he’d handed over to somebody else, I thought.

‘Okay. Leave it with me. Well spotted. You’d better keep your head down for a couple of days. I’ll call you as soon as I have anything else.’

‘Is there a problem?’ I asked.

‘Like what?’

‘Could he be official?’

‘I doubt it. He’s probably working for one of Gustav’s competitors. He may have picked you because you were a new face. Don’t worry – it happens.’

Not to me, it didn’t, which was why I was worrying. Being followed by strange little men isn’t part of my normal routine. It made me wonder if he was nothing to do with Clayton or Gustav at all. Perhaps he’d been employed by Susan’s solicitors to find out if I had gainful employment and therefore some income they could latch on to.

I rang Hugo and asked him, in case pillow talk had been exchanged.

‘No idea, old boy,’ he said unhelpfully. ‘Juliette hasn’t said anything. Why – has someone in a dirty mac been taking compromising piccies of you?’ He chuckled as if being watched was his idea of a boyish prank.

‘Not exactly.’ I told him about the incident on the promenade at Nice.

If I was expecting support from him, I was disappointed.

‘Told you, old son,’ he muttered quickly, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. ‘You should stop doing that delivery stuff – it’s not safe. This fellow watching you might have been Inland Revenue… Customs and Excise or whatever they call themselves nowadays. Christ, Jake – they could even be the anti-terrorist squad! They could lock you up and chuck away the key!’
