A Hint Of Death (A Bob Skinner Short Story) (Kindle Single) - Plot & Excerpts
Leave your prejudices in the corridor outside.’ That CID mantra had been drummed into Sauce Haddock from his first day as a detective constable by some very formidable mentors. The foremost of those had been Bob Skinner, the first chief constable he had ever served under, and the scariest man he had ever met. Skinner had since taken himself off to Glasgow, but his influence still hung heavily around his old patch in the capital city. Sauce had the dictum firmly in mind as he walked up the path to Tammy Jones’s front door. She must have done all right in her divorce, he thought. The house was a substantial detached villa in a new estate in Liberton, less than a mile from Drumdonald Academy. It had taken him less than an hour and a couple of phone calls to trace her, and to build a profile. Mr Jones … whose forename was George, a coincidence that would have delighted Tammy’s country and western crazy dad … was a partner in a fund management firm. They had been married for eleven years, until he had traded her in for an investment analyst.
