Роберт Торогуд – The Killing Of Polly Carter (страница 14)

Richard realised that his thoughts kept slipping back to what an orgy in Cheam would look like, so, before he got too confused, he jumped out of his chair and clapped his hands together in a way—far too late—he realised, probably made him look like a newly qualified Geography teacher.

‘Right, then, team,’ he said. ‘What have we got so far?’

‘Well, sir,’ Fidel said, picking up his notes eager to report to his boss. ‘I’ve been looking into Phil Adams, and he’s from quite an impressive family. Before he retired, his dad was a teacher at Eton College, and his mum is a senior civil servant at the Foreign Office. As for siblings, he’s got an older brother and a younger sister. The brother’s a banker who owns his own hedge fund company—so he’s worth a fair bit—and his sister’s the British Ambassador to Slovenia.’

‘I see,’ Richard said, unable to stop himself from being impressed. Phil came from a super-successful family.

‘As for Mr Adams himself,’ Fidel continued, ‘he made his name with a string of violent gangster films back in the 1990s, but he’s not made much since then. And the main thing I’ve been able to dig up about him is, he was also in rehab in Los Angeles earlier this year.’

‘He was?’ Richard asked, thrown. ‘Was everyone in Polly’s house in rehab?’

‘No, sir, just Phil Adams and Polly Carter as far as I can tell. But I don’t know what clinic he was booked into, or why he was booked into it. It was just a few references in the gossip columns of a couple of UK newspapers. That following the failure of his latest feature film last year, he’d booked himself into rehab.’
