AIDAN SAID. “We haven’t got a car. David dropped us here and drove on down the road.” But when they climbed the dunes, there were two cars at the roadside: a silver Vauxhall that must be DC Chappell’s and the Cavendishes’ red CR-V. They watched the helicopter lift off. The coastguard Land Rover rolled towards them, with its crew of four. David was standing beside his vehicle. “I take it you found her, then? Is she all right?” “She’s dead,” Peter told him abruptly. “No! I’m so sorry! Terrible business.” He looked flustered, not knowing what to do. He turned to Lucy. “Can I give you a lift back?” “Thanks. Can you take Peter and Aidan too?” “Anything to help.” Aidan turned to DC Chappell. “If you come back to the village now, the water will be over the causeway.” “Occupational hazard for Holy Island. Luckily there’s not much crime here. I’ve got mates on the island. John will give me a bed if I’m stuck.” He waved to the big coastguard as the Land Rover swung past them onto the road.
