Chapter Summaries & Analyses
At night, Lamb stands on a street outside Regent’s Park and smokes. A car pulls up carrying Nick Duffy. Lamb insists that Duffy take him into the pack. To convince Duffy, he produces a pack containing information on how Duffy failed to properly investigate Min’s killer. Duffy reluctantly obeys. Lamb heads to the records department, run by Molly Doran. Molly is one of the few people in MI5 who is friendly to Lamb. She knows that her perfect knowledge of the records department means that she cannot be replaced. Molly teases Lamb about his appearance and then tells Duffy to leave. She refuses to “have the dogs on [her] floor” (253). Duffy is forced to reluctantly exit, taking a medicine bottle Lamb found in Katinsky’s office. The records department contains Regent’s Park’s oldest secrets. Lamb asks Molly about Katinsky, and she immediately recognizes the name as she tracks down a file. Lamb looks through the bare Katinsky file. He wonders if Katinsky might be “a big fish pretending to be a minnow” (256). Molly can tell that he has the beginnings of an idea. He suspects that Katinsky was one of the men who kidnapped Dickie Bow.
