Publisher's Synopsis
"Witty, clever...an elaborately plotted, very English and charming story." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY For young barrister Julia Larwood, it was to be a vacation in pursuit of romance, and a flight from the tax man...in short, an Art Lover's Tour of Italy. Reduced to near penury by the Inland Revenue, Julia could hardly afford such luxury but she'd be in hock to the Revenue either way so why not? But poor, deluded Julia - how could she have known that ravishing Art Lover for whom she had conceived a fatal passion was himself an employee of Inland Revenue? Or that her hard-won night of passion would end in murder - with her personal, inscribed copy of the current Finance Act found lying a few feet away from the corpse.
