- Martin tells Will of his affair with the victim, Lucy. They would visit a hotel for sex and Martin found her dead in their room one night after going out to get a takeaway. His computer, with information about his employer Kestrel, an oil-trading firm, was stolen and his loyal wife Caroline believes the theft was the reason for the murder. Will is stalked by two men not keen for him to investigate Kestrel and who know that the word Agadir was typed into the computer. In Suffolk, Jane is impressed by a story written by Alan, her only bright pupil, and submits it for publication whilst the brusque, tetchy Wenborn gets it into his head that Jarrold was executed, especially when he learns that he was really animal-rights activist Philip Spaull.—don @ minifie-1
- Will Travers meets his old friend Martin Newell in jail but he hasn't yet decided to represent him. Newell freely admits to having an affair with the victim, Lucy Wilson, a secretary at his firm. He flatly denies that he had anything to do with her death. He claims he had gone out to get her some fries and came back less than a half-hour later to find Lucy strangled on the bed. Lucy thought they were followed to their hotel and afterward the police couldn't find his laptop, which contained sensitive company information. Martin's wife Caroline is convinced that he was set up. Will visits his old Chambers where he has flashes of an incident there. Jane Travers tries to get one of her pupil's works published. Meanwhile, DI Mark Wenborn investigates the murder of John Jarrold and interviews an elderly local who saw a strange car go past her house on the night of the murder. Jarrold turns out to be Philip Spaull who has had several encounters with the police.—garykmcd
