NO ONE ASKED

The flight home was met at Gatwick at three in the afternoon by Blanche, who, after dropping Amber off to re-join her children, whisked me off to another crime scene.
"What's happened?" I asked as we headed towards Ascot.
"Igor Akinfeev died this morning," she replies, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.
"Don't tell me, suicide," I say, without feeling.
"Police have been quick to announce that there is nothing suspicious about the death," she says.
