But when she wanders downstairs in the morning, she finds Donald dead and Tessa clinging to life.She searches for the attacker, without the approval of DCI Roderick Carlisle of the Devon police department. She discovers that her friends may not be the perfect couple she had pictured.Casey is an intelligent woman, a journalist with ideals. Could the murder be traced to the memoirs Don was writing? Or was the killer an unstable client of psychologist Tessa?The author touches on the world of big-time art theft and Neo-Naziism in London. And Casey finds that a cop, trying to right his own wrongs, can ignite passion deep within her.The author gives a clear picture of a chilling winter in the English countryside, and presents believable, complex characters. I still had some questions at the end, but I found the story thought-provoking and satisfying.
