His estate should be insignificant - a quick signature, then off again. But her optimism is short-lived. The first shock is to discover that graham committed suicide.

With the assistance and partial discouragement of Detective Inspector Oliver Simpson, she discovers extraordinary details of Graham's background that she never dreamed existed, and finds herself recapturing her former love for him.
