Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

“Earlier today a body was discovered in the gardens of a local stately home by two students from one of the city language schools.  Oxford police are currently investigating, but have so far not released any further details.”

Robbie switched off the television and sighed.  A short item at the end of the local news no doubt meant by the time James arrived home he would be tired, stressed, and, from the look of the weather, wet.  It would be a good idea to ensure he had a hot meal ready; it might be summer, but it wasn’t salad weather.
