Book your ticket to happiness with Sun Express Airlines. And Good evening. This is crime classic. I am Thomas Highland.

Listen.

The man you hear breathing

The man you hear breathing is named Thomas Edwin Bartlett.

He is in bed and sleeping.

Breathing deep the night air of Pemlico, England.

Mr. Bartlett is a heavy sleeper, a deep breather too, rhythmical and serene.
