a story of intrigue and deception
with her usual finesse. John Coffin,

one day a phone call disrupts his peace of mind
and starts him on a journey from past to present.
Dr. John Bradshaw is a scholar who is
writing a book on the life of Richard Laven-
dar, a former prime minister, long retired and
almost forgotten. When he enlists Coffin s
help to research his subiect, Coffin uncovers
a deadly secret. On a visit to Lavendar, he
hears the respected politician confess that his
father was a serial killer, and that as a boy he
had helped to bury one of the victims, laven-
dar, on his deathbed, is repentant and requests
that Coffin find the body.

elderly man is delusional, Coffin sets off to
investigate. When a young journalist who has
been digging around in Lavendar s past is mur-
dered, it appears that the sins of the past and
present are coming together with terriflying speed.
