What Pryor Won't Say

"I was marking dissertations until midnight," said Pryor. "Alone, as one generally is with a hundred and forty undergraduate dissertations and a deadline. I didn't see Desmond that evening. I didn't need to see him. We'd already said everything we had to say to each other, rather loudly, the week before." He paused. "I did not kill a man over a disagreement about methodology, Dr Voss, whatever poetic justice you imagine that would represent."
