A worried mother calls on widowed Bea Abbot - owner of a domestic
agency and intrepid senior sleuth - for help in the eighth book in
the Abbot Agency cozy mystery series. The fake diamond in Dilys
Holland's engagement ring implies that all is not well in her
marriage, and the Holland family matriarch, Sybil, calls on Bea
Abbot for help. Bea soon discovers that Dilys and her little girl
live in fear of her abusive husband, a man called Benton with whom
Bea has already clashed. Benton wants Bea to rescue the ailing
fortunes of his company, part of the Holland empire, and has no
scruples about trying violence on her too when she turns him down.
To make matters worse, Bea's Member of Parliament son has tied both
his fortune and his marriage to Benton's future and is desperate
for Bea to rescue him. Then Dilys tries to commit suicide . . . or
does she?
