Death Of An Expert Witness (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
A flight of four wide, curved stone steps led to the doorway, imposing on its pilasters but solidly, unostentatiously, right. Dalgliesh paused momentarily to study the façade. Howarth said: “Agreeable, isn’t it? But wait till you see what the old man did to some of the interior.” The front door, with its elegant but restrained brass door handle and knocker, was fitted with two security locks, a Chubb and an Ingersoll, in addition to the Yale. At a superficial glance there was no sign of forcing. It was opened almost before Howarth had lifted his hand to ring. The man who stood aside, unsmiling, for them to enter, although not in uniform, was immediately recognizable to Dalgliesh as a police officer. Howarth introduced him briefly as Inspector Blakelock, Assistant Police Liaison Officer. He added: “All three locks were in order when Blakelock arrived this morning. The Chubb connects the electronic warning system to Guy’s Marsh Police Station. The internal protection system is controlled from a panel in the Police Liaison Officer’s room.”
