His estate should be insignificant - a quick signature, then off again. But her optimism is short-lived. The first shock is to discover that graham committed suicide. This she finds unacceptable, especially when she hears how he was supposed to have done it. Impossible, she says. She soon manages to persuade herself that he might even still be alive. With the assistance and partial discouragement of Detective Inspector Oliver Simpson, she discovers extraordinary details of Graham's background that she never dreamed existed, and finds herself recapturing her former love for him. But her independent actions lead to the discovery of another death, and she is then faced by a murder that could not be murder and a suicide that could not be suicide. As the extent of Graham's estate becomes known, the danger to herself grows. Ingenious plotting, original and unexpected situations, sharp dialogue and convincing characters are all present in this new crime novel by Roger Ormerod. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
