Description:

Distinguished barrister Venetia Aldridge QCs defence of Garry Ashe, accused of the brutal murder of his aunt, is one more opportunity to triumph in her distinguished career as a criminal lawyer. But four weeks and four days after the trial, she is murdered at her desk.

Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team find plenty of motive for murder among the clients Venetia has defended, her envious professional colleagues, her wayward daughter, and the lover she has tried to keep secret. But just as Dalgliesh begins to narrow down the field of suspects, a second brutal murder sends the case in a totally new direction . . .
