It begins, dramatically enough, with a trial for murder. The distinguished criminal lawyer Venetia Aldridge is defending Garry Ashe on charges of having brutally killed his aunt. For Aldridge the trial is mainly a test of her courtroom skills, one more opportunity to succeed - and she does. But now murder is in the air. The next victim will be Aldridge herself, stabbed to death at her desk in her Chambers in the Middle Temple, a bloodstained wig on her head.
Enter Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team, whose struggle to investigate and understand the shocking events cannot halt the spiral into more horrors, more murders.

Work Description
"Venetia Aldridge QC is a distinguished barrister. When she agrees to defend Garry Ashe, accused of the brutal murder of his aunt, it is one more opportunity to triumph in her career as a criminal lawyer. But Regina V. Ashe initiates events both frightening and unpredictable...
Just four weeks later, Miss Aldridge is found dead in her Middle Temple chambers. Commander Adam Dalgliesh, called in to investigate, finds motives for murder among the clients Venetia has defended: her professional colleagues, her family - even her lover. As Dalgliesh and his team narrow the field of suspects, a second brutal murder draws them into greater complexiteis of intrigue and evil."
