About This Book

Marianne Shearer, a successful criminal barrister, checks into a Kensington hotel and throws herself from a sixth-floor window. Nobody much liked her, and nobody can see why she did it. Peter Friel, a modest lawyer charged with sorting out her affairs, starts to find that very little in her life was as it seemed.
