A Coffin For Two

9

I made it back to St Marti just after 9 p.m. Casa Minana was closed for the day, but there were still some open-air diners at the tables outside Meson del Conde and the Esculapi, most of them in heavy sweaters against the cool of the autumn evening.

The apartment was in darkness when I opened the door. I wondered whether I had missed seeing Prim at one of the tables, until I found a note on the sideboard.

Dear Oz

I’m taking the Carrilet into L’Escala, then on to the Trattoria. If you don’t show up there by 11, I’ll take a taxi home. Lurv
