内容简介：
Flying home from Florence, DS Kate Power of Birmingham CID engages in a pleasant but trivial conversation with the businessman sitting next to her. Two days later he's found hanging from a canal bridge--"with Kate's card in his pocket the only means of identification. It looks like a clear-cut case of suicide--"but Kate is not so sure. And, as her subsequent investigation proves, the cause of Alan Grafton's death--"and its consequences--"are much more serious than she her colleagues could ever have imagined.
