About the book
It seems unsurprising when the banker Sir Garth Fratten drops dead in the street--he had an aneurism that might burst at any time. But his daughter Inez has doubts, and as Detective Inspector Poole of Scotland Yard begins to look at the 'accident' and the events surrounding it, he uncovers an increasingly complex web of fraud, conspiracy, betrayal and murder.
