Uncovering a web of conspiracy that intertwines past and present, can Lady Beatrice and DCI Richard Fitzwilliam catch a killer and unveil the truth of her husband's death at long last?

Detective Chief Superintendent Timothy Street (57) from the Protection and Investigations (Royal) Services died unexpectedly yesterday. His death comes hot on the heels of Detective Inspector Ethan Preece (43) from City Police, who died of a suspected heart attack last week. The greatly respected public figure, Timothy Street, had served in policing for over thirty years. A PaIRS spokesperson has confirmed that 'neither men's death is being treated as suspicious at this time'.

Now that Street's dead, so is any hope of reopening the inquiry into Lady Beatrice's husband's death fifteen years ago. Unless, of course, there is something that links the two men to the earl's fatal car crash?

Can she and Fitzwilliam, along with their friends, work together to unravel the mystery and catch a killer before the truth is buried forever?
