## Description

Who would have believed that Alice Whittaker's life could change? She was thirty-seven, rich but dowdy, with no career. Her life a lonely failure, she had got by with the one thing she did have: money . Then handsome Andrew Fielding came into her life and just as suddenly her beautiful friend Nesta vanished from it, leaving behind a trail of broken questions and confused clues. Now nothing is as it seems - and in this darker world below, anything can be done by anyone. Even murder... 'The best woman crime writer since Sayers, Christie, Allingham and Marsh' - SUNDAY TIMES
