Description: Georgie Sinclair's husband has walked out. Her sixteen-year-old son is busy surfing born-again websites. When Mrs Shapiro, her eccentric old Jewish emigre neighbour, is admitted to hospital Georgie is named as her next of kin and has to sort out Mrs Shapiro's semi-derelict mansion. She finds herself unravelling a mystery which takes her from Highbury to wartime Europe to the Middle East, and learning a bit about DIY along the way.
