Saints Of The Shadow Bible (Rebus) - Plot & Excerpts
Professor Cuttle, he was told, was under the weather, staff fearing he had caught a chill from too much time spent in the garden. ‘He had visitors the other day,’ the staff member informed Rebus. ‘They kept him outside longer than they should.’ ‘Some people, eh?’ Rebus sympathised, making a tutting sound and shaking his head. ‘He’s in his room, tucked up in bed. Can I fetch you a cup of tea . . . ?’ Rebus said he would be fine, and followed her along a corridor which held the faint aroma of talcum powder. She knocked on a door and opened it. ‘Visitor for you,’ she trilled, stepping back to allow Rebus past her. He nodded his thanks and, once inside, closed the door gently on her. Cuttle looked paler and thinner than ever. It took him a moment to place Rebus. ‘Seems Inspector Fox and me kept you too long in the cold,’ Rebus apologised, lowering himself on to a folding chair next to the bed. ‘Fresh air is supposed to be good for a body,’ Cuttle said with a shrug.
