    Summary

    Lucy Carlyle hates Anthony Lockwood.

    People, at least the people Lucy tends to hang out with, generally take this at face value.  After all, everyone at Fittes knows about the Heaton House Horror (and what a horror it had been), the Bonneville Factory Terror (she can’t even look at crème eggs anymore without gagging), and the score of other cases that Lockwood and his merry band of incompetents have screwed up for her and the rest of Kipps’s crew.  Anyone would dislike Lockwood after all that.

    So she has good reasons, is what she’s saying.  And that helps her sleep at night.

    Which she needs.

    Because in her heart of hearts, Lucy knows that her hatred of Anthony J. (who the hell uses a middle initial these days?) Lockwood actually stems from the night he fucked her in a storage cupboard at the Fittes New Year’s Eve party and then never called.
