Summary
All she wanted to do was take her son’s forgotten sports kit to school. So why does Nicki Clements drive past the home of controversial newspaper columnist Damon Blundy eight times in one day?
Blundy has been murdered, and the words ‘HE IS NO LESS DEAD’ daubed on his wall - in red paint, not blood. And, though Blundy was killed with a knife, he was not stabbed. Why?
