      I

      There was a knock at the door.

      ‘Dr Landsmann?’

      ‘Come in,’ she called. The door opened, and into the small office stepped a man wearing a three-piece suit, a tie and well-buffed shoes. A red visitor’s badge with the initials H.M.P.S. printed on it was clipped to his lapel, somewhat marring his otherwise perfectly-maintained appearance.
