Publisher's Synopsis
After a luminous blonde leaves, re-boards, then leaves the double-decker bus on which Richard Jury is travelling, he follows her up to the gates of Fulham Palace...and goes no further. Days later, when he hears of the death in the palace's walled garden, Jury will wonder if he could have averted it. But is the victim the same woman that Jury saw? As he and Melrose Plant follow the complex case from the Crippsian depths of London's East End to the headier heights of Mayfair's art scene, Jury will realise that in this captivating woman - dead or alive - he may finally have met his match.
