'A well-written, soundly plotted, psychologically acute story'Marcel Berlins, The Times

When a man dies in a gas explosion, the police suspect arson. The Murder Investigation Team are called in to investigate.

The case takes on a new and terrible twist when a local villain is viciously attacked.

As the police enquiries lead from the expensive Harchester Hill estate to the local brothel, a witness dies in a hit-and-run.

Was it coincidence - or cold-blooded murder?
