A British doctor is caught up in suspicions of spousal abuse and
murder in a riveting mystery by the author of Death by Appointment.
When a patient visits Dr. Cathy Moreland with a disturbing story of
marital tension and a bruise on her upper arm, Cathy is understandably
concerned. But the young woman, Fiona, refuses further help despite
confiding that she's afraid of her husband.
Cathy is more worried still when, just days later, Fiona's husband urges
her to sign his gun licence form. With no reason not to, Cathy
reluctantly complies. Soon after, Cathy is horrified to hear of a death
during a shooting party on a local estate. But Fiona is not the victim.
Nor is Fiona's husband the one who pulled the trigger--but it was his
gun that took the victim down. Now Cathy is left questioning whether
what looks like an accident is really a coincidence, and what's been
going on behind closed doors . . .
