They discussed how to proceed and the deployment of the forces at their disposal. ‘Let’s summarise, then. What are the main issues we have to deal with?’ said Silver. ‘One: the body on the rock. We think it’s a cousin of Nadia’s, called Stefan. We hope that she and her mother will identify it today. Two: the two bodies dug up from the field. We think they were smuggled across from Eastern Europe for prostitution. Why they were killed, we don’t yet know, but it looks as if they’d been buried for two or three years. We have to wait for the post-mortem reports to confirm that. Three: follow up on Nadia’s recollections. Four: look for street girls from Romania, to see if they were part of the same chain. Five: follow up on the few descriptions we have, particularly the two men Barry and I saw at the first farm. We’re pretty sure one of them was a Richard Frimwell but he seems to have vanished. That’s suspicious in itself.
