Kate was lucky Pilcher was in bed, drea off a cliff The call was taken by Sergeant Lynch at Shooter&039;s Hill He rounded up Dixon and Regan, suspended or not, to go to St Bartolph&039;s

If Sergeant Choley were on duty, Kate would be in a tu out of her - she didn&039;t kno much sharper or more perceptive or monstrous she&039;d have become if she&039;d drained Jess dry - but she could still explain what she&039;d worked out

Keith, Fran and Anna were in separate interview rooms Tere murderers, one an accomplice, but it had all been Eric DeBoys&039; fault He had intended that all the Black Monks take part in his blood-and-BOP ritual, binding them to hi of drugs and human sacrifice

Obscurely, it was all about Croft, ould walk away free, as usual DeBoys had been trying to get his loved-hated mentor&039;s attention, but also hoped to turn Croft back into the vampire he used to be, the unashamed murderer and rapist who inspired the Black Monks Jaroup who saw Croft as the father who must be appeased, pleased, revered, replaced and destroyed

DeBoys had let Nolan tag along to take photographs Croft would appear in and laid that silly trail with the scarf It was his way of pressuring the professor Bellaver often said soet nicked Infusions of the blood-and-BOP mix - which had only been brewed up twice, but now had a street name: Cri of being beyond the reach of the law

Anna, who could most easily cut a deal, kept schtumm She resented the way Kate had been bumped in front of her - the next victih her venom in Jess&039;s wounds would have tipped off Dr John Hardy at the autopsy Keith and Fran were in a classic prisoners&039; pickle - each not knowing if the other had turned Queen&039;s Evidence Fran would cut the deal first Stressing DeBoys&039; powers of fascination, she h mind-warpery

The truth would coive

DeBoys had nurtured an inflated notion of his place in history Using Carol as a lure, he&039;d fascinated Nolan to provide illustrations for his unwritten biography At that, he&039;d be successful: someone - not Kate! - would write a paperback about this No one kne coh Monserrat was clai some success with his hypnotic procedures The snapper was on the party scene again, with a fresh interest in fast cars and renewed enthusiasm for dolly birds

Kate and Nezuive details of which hospital - St Swithin&039;s - she had sent Cathy and Pony to As a follower of Shinto, she Brownie-swore to the truth of her testi was in the same hospital Michael Upton, a medical student who ca intake than the cuts and bruises she&039;d suffered at thefiends The side-effects of Bowles-Ottery pellets included acute stoonisingly fatal Upton called va fiends&039; to her face, the cheeky sod

Jess cah to ask for Paul Durward to sit in the ambulance with her He&039;d done it, too Kate didn&039;t need a drug insight to see that the nit would stick by the boyfriend who&039;d been happy to see her killed She hoped Jess would at least corner the feckless viper intoher and then drain him of his feeble life essence with her woolly-minded yet steely bounciness

Inappropriately, before leaving the scene of the crime, Upton asked for Kate&039;s phone nuave it to hined for murder, she could look forward to a date in another bloody student bar This tiet her own drinks in Medical students had access to drugs which made BOP seee Dixon everything except what she&039;d guessed about Eastman If the biker ever assassinated his father, she hoped he&039;d be out of the country before B Division got on his case

After they were done, Jack Regan popped his head into the roooal, eh? That&039;ll ht of that It had dawned on her, as she told the story, that Jessica&039;s granddad wouldn&039;t be grateful to her for saving the war in the ht, Enoch Powell and The 986, she was still a monster The vampire community wouldn&039;t be happy with her either As a Fearless Vaet a cross tattooed under her ar and said he&039;d tell Bellaver how it had shaken out in the end She pro his roses and boning up on parking regulations and the A to Z of Welwyn Garden City It rong he wasn&039;t here to see the end of it She&039;d report to the Diogenes Club as soon as she was able If solving the -term, mysterious purposes, she supposed she should be happy about that

Just before dahen vampire and warm alike were at their lowest ebb, calls started to come in The School of Va responsibility A full-scale student protest, foot in the way of the Fire Brigade The firened to distract and exhaust the burn-up of 1968 The press were out in force, too And the members of the Manfred Co

Kate&039;s ears still rang If you fire a gun in an enclosed space like a student common room, that happens She also heard sirens, fire alarms, telephone bells, police whistles, steam kettles, the wireless pips, screaot louder
