Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Chapter 11 begins with Elizabeth telling Ibrahim that she has a job for him: She needs him to “lie to a senior police officer” (29). Quickly changing perspective, Chapter 12 opens with a debriefing at the precinct by Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Chris Hudson. Donna is there delivering them tea, and she does her best to linger on her way out in order to hear more; for example, she bends down to pretend to tie her laces, even though her boots don’t have any. Chris is describing the surveillance they were able to get on Tony’s travels after leaving Coopers Chase on the day of his murder: He left at 2:00 pm and died at 3:32 pm. Cameras in the surrounding areas hold footage that could tell more, so Chris wants to get a hold of the recordings. Until they get that, “[T]he biggest lead is the photograph the killer left by the body” (30). Donna recognizes one of the people in the photo that Chris brings up before she leaves the room, but she hears Chris say that they know all three of the men in the photo very well.
Joyce’s diary entry in Chapter 13 concerns her thoughts surrounding Tony’s death, describing how he was bludgeoned to death.
