Charles Verge, a celebrated, cutting-edge architect, has disappeared into the blue leaving behind his firm, his beloved—and pregnant—daughter... and his young and very dead wife. The case sends Kathy to the streets of Barcelona, the British countryside, and back again to her own stomping ground, where suspicion of internal corruption comes much closer to home than she and Brock would like.
