Chapter 31

Nancy Deen stifled a yawn. She’d spent her morning with one of her favourite clients, a young mother who was just finding her feet again after being released from prison. Now she was back at her Shoreditch office ploughing through the paperwork which came with the case. Her flow of concentration was interrupted by a call from reception – there was someone waiting for her downstairs. Nancy was bemused, because her diary was clear for the afternoon. She went down and was greeted by a large, well-set man in builders’ overalls. He smiled pleasantly at her.

‘Nancy Deen?’

‘Yes?’

‘Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious,’ he said, maintaining the smile. ‘DC Paulsen sent me.’

‘She did?’

‘Yeah, she said you needed some work doing at your flat?’

‘Not that I’m aware of . . . ?’

Now it was the man who looked confused. He pulled a slip of paper from his pocket and read from it.

‘Flat 2, 56 Batsford Road, Tufnell Park? That is your address, isn’t it?’

‘Yes, but I honestly have no idea what this is about. What kind of work? Why have you come here?’

The man continued to beam at her.

‘It’s alright – I can see there’s been a misunderstanding. Why don’t you ring Detective Constable Paulsen and tell her I paid you a visit? She’ll explain everything, I’m sure.’

His broad smile extended wider.
