Obituary for Howard Gray — James Pattinson

Drake read the obituary for Howard Gray in the Daily Telegraph. It intrigued him because he had been very close to Gray many years ago, though they had lost touch later for reasons that were certainly not mentioned in the newspaper. Indeed, there was a great deal that had been left out, and he felt he knew very well why. A lot had happened in those early years that whoever supplied the material for the obituary might have been reluctant to see in print. Drake wondered who that person might be, and he decided to pay a visit and try to solve the mystery. But nothing could have prepared him for what was to follow.
