Oxford's ancient corridors swallow sound, the only scents the damp stone and the rain-freshened ivy clinging outside an arched window. A bar of late, golden light cuts across the flagstones, illuminating the dust. Felix Catton moves through it, all six-foot-five of him, his expensive coat rumpled, his usually relaxed face tight with worry.

He looks utterly misplaced—this heir to a fortune, reduced to a desperate, pleading figure in the middle of the grand hall. Will you turn and shatter this heavy quiet?
