Preface

Syd and Jack have found the perfect London home and are excited to have their offer accepted over all the others because the previous owner wanted it to go to a young couple.

Syd is smitten but Jack feels as if maybe it is too good to be true. His sense of unease only grows when he makes a gruesome discovery in the attic but he decides to hide the extent of his discovery from Syd because he doesn't want to ruin the house for her.

Later on, he regrets this when a body is discovered in the alley outside their house and the police are watching their every move.
