I used to be a painter. That career didn't work out, so I took up writing fiction - seemed a cleaner route to poverty.

Two hours earlier over lunch at Connelly’s Pub, Mary and I had argued about going to the police. Having read hundreds of crime novels featuring corrupt cops, I was wary of the police.

He'd quizzed me about the wrapped picture under my arm, a hungry gleam in his eye. That gleam was not for hollow-eyed, forty-year-old me. He wanted to gobble up my painting then spit it out if the picture failed to transport him.
