His fiance Charlotte Maughton believes his death was something more sinister.Blackmail revenge murder: desperate acts are exposed and this is no tree-lined avenue to justice. Each new revelation stirs the muddy waters of a family's dark secrets and each fresh twist takes them further from that elusive redemption.There are murder mysteries and there are murder mysteries but this is a noir where nothing is black and white.
