Why did the 20-year-old heiress take an overdose of sleeping pills? Why had she married the aloof, intellectual owner of a small antiques shop? ***Jimmy's sister Jennifer had been abroad when the headlines about the puzzling marriage and the even more puzzling suicide hit the world's press. Returning to New York she found her brother bewildered by the tragedy. ***Jimmy had met the closely guarded heiress through chance, and two weeks later she had proposed. The marriage soon proved a mistake. Bored and restless, Mary Ann did not like living in the poky flat over the shop, but when her furious father arrived to take her home she refused to go. Then the autopsy report showed she was four months pregnant. Refusing to listen to Jimmy's denials that he was the father, Rutherford set out to ruin him.
