About the book
A family tragedy...
During the hot summer days at Wimbledon, 14-year-old Lydia Kennford arrives back home to a horrifying scene. In the family living room, she finds the lifeless bodies of her mother and twin sister, while her father, Philip, is found unconscious and bleeding in an upstairs bedroom.
DC Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent step in to investigate the brutal incident. They quickly rule out burglary as a motive and turn their focus towards Philip Kennford QC himself. The mysterious circumstances surrounding his survival raise suspicions that he may have orchestrated the attack on himself after murdering his wife and daughter. However, Kennford is a composed and knowledgeable man with expertise in criminal law, making it challenging to prove his guilt.
