'What do you think?' asked Dalziel. 'Suicide?'
'He just flew straight into it,' repeated Preece. 'He made no attempt to avoid it.'
'OK, lad,' said Dalziel. 'Peter, what do you think?'

'And the other half?'
'Innocent man driven to extremes by false accusation and police harassment.'

'Oh aye. We're shot of them buggers till next year, thank God,' said Dalziel. 'How many times do I have to ask. What do you think?'
'I think it's mysterious and sad,' said Pascoe. 'That's it. A sorrow and a mystery. Like life.'
'Jesus bloody wept,' said Dalziel.
