‘Inspector Joseph,’ he introduced himself.

‘Is David Morgan at home?’

‘Yes, sir. I’m Sergeant Thomas – Mike, with the local force. We’re more informal in the country.’ He held the door open and Trevor walked directly into a sitting room.

David and his mother were sitting side by side on a flower-patterned sofa. The wallpaper, curtains and upholstery were faded but spotlessly clean, and there were fresh flowers in a vase. The windows were small but they looked out over the back and side as well as the front garden. Given how small they were, the room was surprisingly light.

David jumped up when Trevor entered. But his mother continued to sit, slumped on the sofa, clutching a handkerchief.

‘Hello, Mrs Morgan. David, I’m Inspector Trevor Joseph, and I’m here to re-examine the evidence in the murder of Anna Harris.’

‘See, Mam, I told you,’ David said proudly.

‘Mr Smith said the police would send a new officer to prove I didn’t kill Anna. He said…’

‘David,’ Mike broke in. ‘I think your mam would like a cup of tea.’

‘I’ll make one for all of us, shall I, Sergeant Thomas?’ David was as eager to please as a puppy in search of a tit-bit.
