The Quiet Death Of Thomas Quaid: Lennox 5 - Plot & Excerpts
I’d picked up a divorce case and was purposefully giving it my full-time attention: not that there was any real detective work involved. Divorce in Scotland was a pantomime involving staged, often fully clothed, mock-infidelities, bribed hotel staff and a mountain of statements. Scottish society at all levels remained censorious about divorce and I liked to think that I was doing a public service by helping the unhappily coupled de-couple, navigating them through a largely hostile legal system. The fact that I came out of it with better-lined pockets was all to the good. All of the divorce cases I landed were sent my way by two Glasgow legal firms, both of whom trusted me to be efficient and prompt in ‘gathering’ evidence. Everyone knew that I booked the rooms, arranged the times for the soon-to-be-ex-spouse and often professional co-respondent to lie fully clothed in the bed while two members of hotel staff, both of whom I also paid for their services, entered the room and witnessed the ‘infidelity’.
