Chapter Seven
RAFFERTY HADN’T GOT around to seeing Michael Peacock the previous evening, so he and Llewellyn went the next night after the routine jobs of the day were done. Peacock was, as they’d already discovered, a totally different proposition to Gary Oldfield. He lacked Oldfield’s cocky air.

Rafferty was surprised he’d taken Adrienne’s fancy; he’d have thought the electrician – given that she’d gone for Gary Oldfield – far too casually dressed for her tastes. When they went to question him he had obviously not long come in from work and was wearing scruffy jeans and a dirty T-shirt.
‘Must be her bit of rough,’ Rafferty muttered to Llewellyn as they followed Peacock along the hall to his living room.
