The story breaking in The Goss, linking Cat's tragic demise with Marcus's bizarre death, alerted the police. They hadn't been looking for a connection between this gruesome affair and Marcus's lurid passing. A Goss-reading Chief Superintendant (although he wouldn't admit to that) picked it up and ran with it. 'Misadventure' of a sexual nature was replaced by the spectre of a couple of possible murders. When he discovered the further link of erectile tissue (Cat's clitoris remained hugely engorged in death, a fact The Goss relished in reporting) he knew he was onto something.

It got under his skin.
