"Yes indeed," Dick agreed proudly. "They're quite worried about this one at the Yard. That's why they gave the case to me. Wanted their most experienced man on the job."

Ah, but he shouldn't worry the poor woman. "Well, she has little in common with the earlier victims, so we don't think he'd go after her normally. Then again with this kind of case it's hard to predict and the killer might have reason to want to silence her. I'd rather err on the side of caution so don't be surprised, if you do see more police around."

"You're sure you don't remember where you've seen her?"
