00:00It's not working, Andreas.
00:05The hotel, Crete, everything.
00:12Are you Susan Ryland?
00:13Yes, that's me.
00:14It's about our daughter.
00:15She's gone missing.
00:16We think it may be because of one of your books.
00:17I've been offered a job.
00:18I've been offered 10,000 pounds to find a missing person.
00:19Cecily Traherne.
00:20What is it exactly that you want me to do?
00:32I want you to come to the hotel.
00:34I want you to read the book.
00:36The real killer is named in the book.
00:38Atticus Poole takes the case.
00:40Alan Conway came to your hotel.
00:42Yes, he did.
00:43It's clear that he used the real events that have taken place as some sort of inspiration.
00:48Chorley was a picturesque village in the county of Devonshire.
00:51In the summer of 1954, its most famous resident was the British actress, Melissa James.
00:58From what I can tell, Melissa James had no enemies.
01:01But sometime between 6.28, 6.38 in the evening, somebody broke into her house and strangled
01:07her.
01:08So who do you think may have been responsible?
01:11Lance and Maureen Garden at the hotel, she had a doubt about them, and there's a film
01:16producer called Oscar Berlin.
01:17He had a row with Miss James just one hour before she was killed.
01:18I've changed my mind.
01:19There's a financial advisor, a man by the name of Algernon Marsh.
01:20Dirty customer affair with their wife's mum.
01:21How am I supposed to know what's happened to Cecily Traherne?
01:22It's got nothing to do with me.
01:23Is that true?
01:24Maybe I did say that it would make a good story, but I didn't tell him to write it.
01:25I just find it incredible that you're being paid £10,000 to read the book.
