He took Digby’s lead off the hook. ‘First though, you and I need to have a dad and dog talk...’

Erin Donnelly smiled.
So, Parish and Richards were going off to America, and Kowalski would lose his best friends for a week. The timing was just right. She was fully prepared. Everything was in place. It was time to destroy DCI Raymond Kowalski.
She made an anonymous report to the department of Social Services at Chingford concerning the psychological and sexual abuse of four children at 12 Mill Lane in Woodford Green. Then she leaked a confidential email to the media, which just happened to be from the Chief Constable of Essex Constabulary to the Police Commissioner in London, concerning DCI Kowalski’s abuse of his children, and his membership of a Satanic Cult. The email made reference to a secret investigation conducted by DCI Debbie MacGregor at the Child Abuse Investigation Unit (CAIU) into the abuse involved. It also pointed out that the information was subject to public interest immunity, and thus it would not be made available to the press under any circumstances.
Additionally, certain reports – constituting evidence – were added to the educational records of Gabe, Oceana, Tabitha, and Gabi Kowalski detailing a catalogue of bruises, strange marks, scratches, illnesses, and absences for which explanations were less than adequate. It was clear, when all this evidence was viewed as a whole that something sinister was going on in the Kowalski household.
