Q
Summary
A
- Louise wonders what they’re all doing up at such an unearthly hour.
- Patrick, she thinks, got to spend the night in a sterile operating theatre, while she spent the night in the rain, finding severed limbs and comforting victims on the scene.
- Louise drives to the Hunters’ today to see Neil instead of Joanna. She thinks of Jackson Brodie saying, “A coincidence is just an explanation waiting to happen,” but she can’t see any connection between Neil Hunter’s brushes with the law and Andrew Decker’s release from prison. The Hunters’ house is quiet; only Neil is there. He seems unsurprised about the alleged arson, and he tells her about Joanna’s sudden trip to see her sick aunt, whom he identifies as Agnes Barker.
