Henry Worthington-Fields is a young man who became interested in the UHC many years before and attended a retreat at Chapman Farm with a friend of his, Flora Brewster. Strike tracks him down via Facebook, and Henry agrees to meet Strike at the Grenadier pub in Belgravia. 

Henry is thirty-four years old although looks younger. He is described as tall, thin and pale with a mop of wavy red hair, wearing horn-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored single breasted pin-striped suit with a flamboyant red tie patterned with horseshoes. Henry tells Strike that he knows Charlotte Campbell as she is a client of his. 

Henry is concerned about Flora and explains that he doesn’t want Strike to talk to her as she is ‘not right’ (Chapter 17). 

Henry tells Strike how he was introduced to the Universal Humanitarian Church and that he persuaded Flora to go to Chapman Farm with him. He tells Strike that he and Flora were split up when they arrived and that the days were long, intense and tiring and that he was hungry all of the time. Henry had a bad experience during his time at Chapman Farm and when the time came for the new intake to decide whether to stay or leave he decided to leave. Flora chose to stay and Henry was not allowed to speak with her again (Chapter 17).

Henry explains to Strike that he met again with Flora five years later after she had left Chapman Farm and that Flora told him all the bad things that had happened to her whilst she had been there (Chapter 17).
