Summary
“With all due respect, sir, I am the last member of staff remaining. Without me-”
Oliver laughed. It was humorless, dry as the wind through the blackened remnants of the maze. No gardeners to maintain the hedges; they’d grown wild until Oliver had found enough petrol to set the whole thing ablaze. It had burned for three nights, and it was a miracle the fire brigade hadn't shown up. It was also a miracle that the house hadn't burned down. Duncan had seen Oliver out there, standing before the fire, and had hoped he'd simply walk into it and be done. Immolate himself.
“Without you. I don’t need you. Fussy old prick.”
Duncan is alone in Saltburn with a monster, and he resolves to destroy it.
