“How about that Taylor character, Jenkins?”
“Taylor? Well… he certainly had a motive.”
“Yeah, victim grassed him up for that bank job.”
“An’ ‘e ‘as previous for fancy knife work.”
“He certainly has. Only one problem…”
“Yeah, he’s banged up. 18 stretch in Frankland High Security.”
“Wasn’t he out on compassionate, for his mother’s funeral?”
“Yes, guv, but under escort.”
“No matter. It’s enough to question him. He has friends on the out. Could’ve put out a contract. Call up that Percy in Legal. Tell the posh bastard I want a warrant to question Raymond George Taylor, suspicion of murder.”

My inside time was spent at HMP Pentonville in London.
