H1
Detective Inspector Rod Eliot was just about to leave to the Queen’s Head pub. At that moment, the phone rang. Detective Constable Jamie Bowen called him. He said there was a problem. Eliot got angry, his mood got worse when Detective Bowen told him about a report of a death. He thought about his son Micky and his wife Sally who left that morning, because they argued. When Bowen told him where to go, he put his phone down and took one last look at The Queen’s Head before leaving.

H3
Eliot went to the house where the murder has been committed (Alex Forley’s). The house and garden looked very beautiful. When Eliot went into the house he walked into the sitting room. There were French windows and when Eliot tried to open them, he was surprised that they weren’t locked. After that he went to the bathroom, which told him that Forley lived alone. There was only one toothbrush and a single towel. Eliot asked the pathologist if he could tell him anything yet and the pathologist said Alex hasn’t been dead very long but he couldn’t say anything else yet. He didn’t find anything and went to the neighbours with Bowen.
Mr Crowther opened the door, he was a middle aged man with white hair. Eliot told him they wanted to ask him and his wife some questions about Forley’s death. You could see pictures in sitting room, which Mrs Crowther had painted. Mrs Crowther was young and beautiful woman with blonde hair and green eyes. She told Eliot and Bowen that she and her husband hadn’t seen him since a week ago and that they usually meet on Friday afternoons. Eliot wondered why a beautiful woman would marry such an old man. Mrs Crowther seemed really upsead about Alex Forley’s death.
H4
Eliot is questioning Mr and Mrs Crowther. Theytell him about Mr Forley. They say they don’t believe it was suicide because they wonder what reason he could possibly have had. Mr and Mrs Crowther tell Eliot about Forley’s job too. He had a shop in Greenwich: Forley’s Antiques. Eliot had been there once but he felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t afford the table he wanted to buy for his wife. Forley didn’t spend much time in his shop, he just chose the furniture. Eliot asks Mr and Mrs Crowther if they heard something but Mr Crowther says he went for his walk after lunch. Mrs Crowther says she heard a bang, but she thought it was firework, or so she says. She seems to be choosing her words carefully. Mrs Crowther tells that Forley had a girlfriend: Amanda Grant. Mrs Crowther thought that Forley was going to marry her. After that Eliot leaves.
H5
Eliot and Bowen were in the car. They were driving back home. They were talking about the Crowthers. While Bowen was talking, Eliot thought about Bowen’s latest girlfriend. Their relationship had been going badly. But he let Bowen continue, because it was more pleasant to talk about the Crowthers, then to think of the dead man.
There was not a lot of traffic, but suddenly, Bowen had to brake to avoid a crash. A car had been left in the middle of the road. Two young boys had stolen it. They did that before. Eliot worries about his son, Mickey. When the car was removed, they could drive to the police station, so Eliot could make his report.
After that, he bought a take-away meal and drove home. He watched tv for a while and went to bed, but he couldn’t fall asleep peacefully. He dreamed about Mickey and Sally, in the back of a stolen car. There was a gun on the seat next to the drivers seat. The man turned round and Eliot could only see blood instead of a face. He woke up covered in sweat.
H6
Eliot had a lonely morning. He wanted to call Sally because he missed her. At the police station, the reason of Alex’ death wasn’t clear. Eliot and Bowen decided to let Amanda Grant identify his body. At her place in Greenwich they had a conversation about Alex. Amanda was silent for a long time. Although Eliot discovered that they had quarrelled about Amanda’s job. Alex told her to give it up, but she didn’t want to. After that Eliot, Bowen, and Amanda went to Blackheath. She started crying when she saw the body, because she immediately saw it actually was Alex. Then they brought her back to Greenwich, it was silent all the way.
H7
Eliot and Bowen went to Amanda grants house to ask her some questions about Mr. Forely. Mr Forely wanted her to stop with her job because it took a lot of her time, but Amanda didn’t want that so they had a lot of arguments about it. Alex Forely and Catherine Crowther liked each other a lot. When Eliot asked Amanda if she had seen anything unusual about Alex the last time she said that he felt weak and that he was getting headaches. He was worried about it because his mother died from them. Amanda gave them the address of Alex’s doctor so they could ask him some things to. Eliot asked her if she could think of any reason why Mr. Forely would kill himself, but she didn’t know one.
