Only official persons were allowed anywhere near the security
cells at HQ. New regulation had been put in place hurriedly. Middlethumpton’s chief

Episode 22 - The identity parade
Cleo was well informed the Norton brothers. Nicknamed Sam
and Jam, they were in fact identical twins who capitalized on their incredible
likeness. They baffled even close relatives.
Episode 21 - Detention
Two plain clothes detectives had parked outside the Crightons'
bungalow on Gary’s orders and gone into the house. He was not taking any more
chances. Betjeman Crighton was hand-cuffed and pushed onto the back seat of the
police car. It drove off leaving Mr and Mrs Crighton standing desolate on their
doorstep.
Episode 20 - Jessica
Cleo told Julie and Colin that she had an idea about where to
look for Jessica and hoped she was right. Whether the woman was guilty or not,
she was in a horrific emotional state and Cleo did not think the police would
deal with her gently after she had made fools of them.
Episode 19 - Tangled webs
Gary phoned early.
"I've got news for you, Cleo," he said, sounding
rather smug.
Episode 18 - Guilty
By about four-thirty, Cleo was drinking tea in Edith's
kitchen, waiting for the boys to come home. She had left Robert at home, angry
because he was not going to have company on an afternoon he taken free so as to
help her with the investigations. Women were supposed to have hobbies for when
their partners had no time for them, not occupations that distracted them from
being available, he mused.
