Hes come to a conclusion almost subconsciously. These past days he has changed his mind without noticing it. At first, hed seen a scenario with enough big gray areas to drop a narrative into. Hed seen an opportunity to take an insignificant missing persons case from 30 years back and pump itup into something compelling. Somewhere along the way he has begun to believe the bullshit. He believes that Violet, Freya and Catherine were abducted by a persons unknown and subjected to something terrible. He has seen no evidence that Freya ever came back. Violet began to remember things – terrible things - and sought out alternative therapies to try and recover her memories. She hasn’t been seen in months. He believes that Eve Cater is complicit in a cover-up. He has suspicions about the disappearance of a hippy caretaker-cum-guru by the name of Arthur Sixpence, the suicide’ of retired cop Derrick Millward, and the disappearance on a mountainside of Alan Rideal If he were a police officer, he does not think he would be able to make a case stick.

She has a pale, lightly freckled appearance, red lips and the same blue eyes as her mum, Rowans older sister. Two spots of perfect red colour her cheeks. Her hair is a shimmering mass of black and hangs to her shoulders in a jumble of ringlets. Some of the twists in her hair are intentional – pretty curls made last night with twists of paper and elastic bands. The others are more naturally-occurring tangles; a mess of knots and snarls, twisting over and under one another like ivy. There is mud on her bare knees and up the side of her wellingtons. Her bare hands look cold. There is a bruise on her left thumbnail and the last flakes of purply nail varnish on the seashell-coloured cuticles at the end of her long, pale fingers. She smells of the outdoors; of cake baked in a steam-filled kitchen; damp clothes and chunky, old-fashioned soap. She has the air of a Disneyprincess who has spent a month living rough: a Snow White not above barbecuing her woodland helpers. They hesitated, staring at her in her gown and jewels.
