Social worker, Anita Servi's world is turned upside down one morning when Clea, her five-year-old daughter, discovers the body of a homeless woman who had occasionally slept on a landing in their apartment building. The body's unusual position and bloody head wound make it clear to Anita - if not to the police - that a crime has been committed. Lillian Raines, also known as 'the lady of the landing', had been an enigma to those, including Anita, who had tried to help her. Determined at least to track down and notify the family, Anita begins to piece together Lillian's story. Was she as rich as rumoured? Why did she spend so much time by the memorial to the Amiable Child in Riverside Park? Anita must use her contacts and intelligence if she is to get justice and peace of mind.
