Controlling Interest

The body of a woman solicitor was discovered by staff arriving yesterday morning at the Holborn offices of the prestigious London solicitors, Mather's. Katrina Pankhurst, 32 had been shot. Police are investigating.' A murder on the premises is bad news for a law firm. It discourages clients. It also discourages recruits which is damaging to a firm like Mather's with a reputation, a lot of clients, but very few partners. But, as Dave Woolf, one-time lawyer, part-time boozer and (almost) full-time private eye realises, a thorough professional would prefer a murder to a leak any day of the week. Dead men can't leak information on gambling debts, treachery, the darker side of freemasonry, and a dodgy business dating back forty years... A murder on the premises is bad news for a law firm.
