Diamond In The Blue: D.I. Simpers Investigates - Plot & Excerpts
He noticed that his suitcase had arrived and been placed on top of one of the twin beds. May as well get this lot unpacked, he thought. He retrieved a small bunch of keys from his left trouser pocket. It had to be his left pocket. Slipping the miniature key into its target, Simpers realised that the case was already unlocked. Puzzled for a moment, he interrogated the logical side of his brain to convince himself that he must have forgotten to lock it. Trouble was, he knew that, as was his custom, he had checked it on three separate occasions before he'd left his flat. Who on earth would want to rummage through a case that had seen better days? He concluded that there were three scenarios worthy of consideration. One: That he indeed was having a senior moment and had forgotten to lock the case. Two: An opportunist thief had been trying their luck. Three: Someone who knew he was boarding had targeted the case, and was looking for something specific.
