From Colin's book,chapter one,
It was just after midday on Wednesday,7 August 1985,that I went to answer an unexpected ring on the doorbell - I was about to make lunch for myself.
'Mr.Colin Caffell?'
'Yes'
'Do you know Sheila Caffell?'
'Yes,she's my ex-wife.What's wrong?'
'I'm afraid we have to tell you that she's dead.'
Those words caught me completely off guard.
'Oh no,then she finally did it!' I said,almost thinking out loud.
With Bamb's recent history of mental illness,the possibility of suicide rang horribly true,but I didn't have a chance to think or ask questions.The policewoman went on:
'Are you the father of Nicholas and Daniel Caffell?'
'Yes,' I said,feeling a terrible panic rising inside me. I didn't want them to say anything else.
'I think we had better go into your flat,where it's more private.'
I then noticed that my neighbours had opened their door a chink.
Once inside,we went to my living - room,and the dark-haired policewoman vanished into the kitchen.
'Mr Caffell,I'm afraid I have to tell you that both your sons,Daniel and Nicholas, are also dead There has been a shooting at a farmhouse in Essex;there are also two other adults dead...'
