A PREDATORY KILLER: Memories haunt Violet Chambers. Taking tea with her friend Daisy, she knows it's time to move on. As Daisy falls to the floor, eyes streaming, face burning, Violet calmly waits. Black hellebore is remarkably potent. It won't be long now.A DAMAGED DETECTIVE: Diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, DCI Mark Lapslie is alienated from his family and considered unreliable by colleagues. Unable to work in close proximity to others, his career is seemingly at an end. Given a case no one else wants, this is his last chance.A TERRIFYING DISCOVERY: As her crimes go undetected and the body count rises, Violet is losing touch with who she thinks she is. Will Lasplie get there in time? What will he find when he does?

It is 1962. The first avocado pears are appearing at the greengrocers, people are thinking about carpeting their lavatories and boxing in their banisters, and Ronnie Glover, housepainter, husband and father, is feeling the first vague stirrings of discontent with his life.

Then, out of the blue, the fabulous, sophisticated (and married) Jacqueline bursts into this life and teaches him to tango. She seems to offer everything he ever dreamt of. But is it all too good to be true? What can a woman who has traveled the world want with a man who carries a stub of pencil behind his ear? And are the Ten O'Clock horses of Ronnie's painful childhood awake and sniffing the wind?
