The Worm in the Bud
by
Chris Collett
In Birmingham a local journalist is found dead in his home. A puncture wound in his arm a
testimony to his death by lethal injection, the cryptic note
by his side: 'no more', seems at first to suggest suicide but Detective Inspector Tom
Mariner has learned to take nothing at face value. There is something
a little too staged about events, especially as just that evening Mariner had witnessed
Edward Barham pick up a prostitute in a bar he was frequenting.
As the police investigate the house further they discover there is another witness to
events at 34 Clarendon Avenue. Barham's younger brother, Jamie,
is found in a cupboard under the stairs. It seems likely that Jamie Barham had witnessed
his brother's killing but his severe autism has left him without
the means to communicate what he has seen...
Mariner is determined to build enough of a relationship with Jamie to get to the truth.
And the fact that this means spending time with Anna Barham, Jamie's
new - and reluctant - guardian, is no great hardship. But is Edward's death related to his
recent investigations into a local crimelord. Or is there something
else, something that only Jamie can tell them - if he so chooses...
