ci5hqNeeeeearly missed it - I thought I'd posted this morning, cos I got partway there, and then work interrupted, and... but phew!
Down to the Waterline by Sebastian
This is one of my favourite Pros Christmas stories, just for it's gorgeous Christmas-y melancholy, and the way Sebastian makes us see the Christmas colours shining on the dark Thames, and hear that lonely foghorn...
It was seasonably cold, the sky black and clear, the stars bright and chill, a stark forecast of frost. In the darkness Doyle walked along the embankment, hands in pockets, briskly; it was not the weather to dawdle. Bodie strode along at his side, keeping up without effort. [...] London had its unsung glories, a moment to be captured every now and then.
