Publisher's Synopsis
A sudden death turns a charity bash into chaos
When DCI Gawn Girvin is invited to attend a gala dinner for Belfast's great and good, little does she know it will mark the beginning of a new multiple murder investigation.
With the charity executive collapsed on the floor and a fellow diner taken seriously ill, the detective must work out if the hors d'oeuvres were simply dodgy or if something more sinister is afoot.
Attention focuses on a mysterious woman spotted leaving the scene. But if the poisoning was deliberate, it would have taken more than one person to pull it off.
Given the event was full of illustrious attendees, Girvin suspects organised crime is involved. Yet when she gets nowhere with the investigation, she seeks help outside the force, consulting security expert Mike Lee, an ex-lover who is not over their acrimonious break-up.
Will she find the answers or has she been served a mystery that is impossible to solve?
