This newest installment, following DORCHESTER TERRACE, follows her beloved husband-and-wife team as they take on a traumatic murder case that could have chilling implications in the international political sphere - and in their very own home. When the wife of a well-respected financier turns up dead, and the young, troubled daughter of a Portuguese ambassador commits suicide in the middle of a party, both deaths point to the disturbing trauma of rape. But when an innocent man ends up on trial for the crimes, Pitt's quest for the truth takes him deep into the tangled web of international politics.
