It follows from all of the above that this other lie – that men who are connected in some way, perhaps only casually to a Spook women, are not straight – is a lie of design and not an accident. The men that they would be interested in most would be straight men, and that is the kind of connection that Spook was most preemptive about preventing. Perhaps the lies about the abortion murders was a convenient follow on to that pattern of secret domestic murder, already established for these other reasons.
