Somebody’s been doing the world a favour and bumping off all the City’s top bankers. But did that same somebody kill Chrissie Barker?

“And you still can’t play a note,” I said. “How come you never told me about this?”

“I wanted to Jack. Believe me I wanted to. But you were such a little snitch in those days. I couldn’t
