    Summary

    “Thought for a second there that you were going to set me up with your partner,” Strike says, more to fill the silence than because he’s curious.

    “What!” Wardle says, laughing again, obviously feeling the effects of his drinks. “You and Vanessa? Nah, mate, she’d eat you alive.”

    Strike raises his brows. “How d’you know that’s not my type?”

    Wardle shakes his head. “I think it’s your type, and it’s no good for you. Oh, here comes Vanessa, good! She’s still here!”

    Strike turns to see who the mysterious “she” is, the one he’s been lured here to meet. “She” is strawberry-blonde, curvy, and tall, trailing behind Vanessa with a slightly put-upon expression and a mostly-empty glass of white wine.
