00:02It's not working, Andreas.
00:05The hotel, Crete.
00:08Everything.
00:12Are you Susan Ryland?
00:14Yes, that's me.
00:15It's about our daughter.
00:16She's gone missing.
00:17We think it may be because of one of your books.
00:21I've been offered a job.
00:23I've been offered £10,000
00:25to find a missing person
00:27successfully through her.
00:29What 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.
00:35The real killer is named in the book.
00:38Atticus Paul takes the case.
00:40Alan Conway came to your hotel.
00:42Yes, he did.
00:43It's clear that he used the real events
00:45that have taken place as some sort of inspiration.
00:48Torley was a picturesque village
00:50in the county of Devonshire.
00:51In the summer of 1954,
00:53its most famous resident was
00:55the British actress Melissa James.
00:58From what I can tell,
01:00Melissa James had no enemies.
01:02Sometime between 6.28, 6.38 in the evening,
01:05somebody broke into her house and strangled.
01:09So who do you think may have been responsible?
01:11Lance and Maureen Garden at the hotel.
01:14She had a date about them.
01:15And there's a film producer called Oscar Berlin.
01:17He had a row with Miss James
01:19just one hour before she was killed.
01:21I've changed my mind.
01:22There's a financial voice
01:24a man by the name of Algin and Maureen.
01:27Darty cost me a favour there while I was one.
01:29How am I supposed to know
01:30what's happened to Cecily, Traherne?
01:32It's got nothing to do with me.
01:34Is that true?
01:34Maybe I did say that it would make a good story,
01:38but I didn't tell him to write it.
01:40I just find it incredible
01:42that you're being paid 10,000 pounds
01:44to read the book.
01:45I'm trying to find Cecily
01:47before it's too late.
01:49I should leave this alone.
01:51But you won't.
01:53I can't.
