Matilda Poliport, recently widowed, has decided to End It All. But her meticulously planned bid for graceful oblivion is foiled, and when later she foils the suicide attempt of another lost soul, Hugh Warner, on the run from the police, life begins again for them both. But life also begins to throw up nasty secrets and awkward questions: just what was Matilda's husband Tom doing in Paris? How is the soon-to-be knighted John involved? And why did Hugh choose Matilda as his saviour?
