A gruesome double murder in a South London townhouse looks like a simple botched burglary. But the slippery kingmaker Arthur Hampton seems to think differently. He enlists Detective Caius Beauchamp to get to the bottom of it. Pronto.
Caius's circumstances have improved recently: he is now head of his own Special Crimes Unit, in line to inherit a substantial country estate, and has appeared in Tatler with his beautiful girlfriend Callie. Not bad for a previously middle-class detective.
But why does Hampton want his help with this case? When Caius realises he recognises the victims, it all starts to feel a little too close for comfort . . .
