Wexford walked past the river in Myringham’s Old Town. It was a very cold day. He saw the police cars in River lane. They were parked in front of some empty houses. The houses had broken windows and doors. Some of them had been live in by homeless people. A police sergeant stood at the end of one of the gardens. Where’s Chief Inspector Lovat, Sergeant Hutton? Asked Wexford.Down at the bottom of the missing woman’s body? Yes sir. Her name is Mrs Morag Grey. She and her husband lived here for two or three months. It was during the summer of last year Grey has been arrested. Will you do something for me? Asked Wexford. You’ve heard about Robert Hathall. I think that he did a wages fraud when he was at Kidd and Company at Toxborough. He explained his idea to Lovat then he went on I’m not supposed to be working on the investigation. I can’t go and ask questions at the banks in Toxborough. Can you check with them for evidence of any false accounts? And do it quickly because I’ve only got ten days The Monday and Tuesday of the week before Christmas passed with nothing from Lovat. Howard had moved from West End Green to Notting Hill to wach for Hathall. There was no news from him either.RobertHathall mother was having lunch with Eileen Hathall. She was sitting at the table drinking a cup of tea. She wasn’t pleased to see Wexford.
