Honeytrap: Part 2 (5 page)

The front door to the office was open and he took the stairs two at a time, his heart pounding in his chest. He could hear voices and as he rushed into the reception area he saw two uniformed cops sitting on the leather sofa. They stood up as he came in.

It was the older of the two that spoke, a grey-haired bloke in his fifties. ‘Harry Lind?’

Harry looked from the man to Lorna. ‘What is it? What’s going on?’

Lorna’s face was pale, her mouth tight and pinched. ‘It’s bad news. There’s been … they’ve found a body.’

Harry’s throat went dry. His gaze flew back to the cops. ‘What?’

‘I’m Sergeant Barrow, this is PC Watts. We need to ask you some questions. I think it’s better if we do it at the station.’

‘Just tell me,’ Harry said. ‘Tell me who it is.’ He wanted him to say the name, had to know the truth, but at the same time couldn’t bear the thought of hearing it. His hands clenched into two tight fists. ‘Please.’

Barrow gave Harry a long intense look and then softly cleared his throat before speaking. ‘We’re investigating the murder of Caroline Westwood. We understand you were with her on Friday night.’

COMING NEXT IN THE HONEYTRAP …

Harry Lind is in deep trouble. A woman has been killed and, as one of the last people to see her alive, he’s in the frame for murder. But that’s not his only problem.

He has to make some tough decisions about who he can help … and who he can’t. Time’s running out. Who’s the priority?

Which one is in the most peril?
