Fire Damage (A Jessie Flynn Investigation, Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
She had arranged to meet Nooria Scott, Sami’s mother, at the Royal College of Art, in Battersea, at ten o’clock this morning. Nooria was studying for a two-year master’s in Fine Art and had said that she was only a few days away from her first exhibition in the college galleries, was working flat out. As the train rattled along the cutting, Jessie leaned her head against the headrest and gazed out of the window. London always felt like a city of two halves. Endless rows of terraced houses, dull and grey in the rain, postage-stamp back gardens studded with rusting climbing frames and trampolines, plastic children’s toys shiny with damp. Then, as the train got closer into central London, the terraces segueing into glass-and-steel apartment blocks, a studio flat costing over a quarter of a million pounds, the Fords and Vauxhalls of Greater London replaced by Porsches and Mercedes. She got off at Battersea Park station and walked across the park, taking her time, unable to recall when she had last come up to central London, making a mental note to visit more often, though she knew she wouldn’t.
