The next morning she is found dead stabbed in the heart with an ornamental dagger which it turns out belongs to Anthony and which has his finger prints all over it.Anthony is arrested charged with Throsby's murder thrown into prison and interrogated. Alone and increasingly desperate he realises only one man can help him.But will Hawthorne take his call?
