Is it significant that that the MP was spearheading a controversial new development? Is his family involved? What about the citizen journalist who followed and heckled him at meetings?
But when Jerry discovers the dead man was writing a tell-all exposé into Westminster politics, the discussions take a dark turn. And enter into the story someone who Jerry thought was out of his life forever. Can she shed light on the personality and contacts of Philip Kerslake? And what effect does she have on Jerry's new life?
