Slightly sweet. Slightly unpleasant...the smell of decay eddied out from inside when she pulled open the garage doors...Certainly she didn't expect to find a corpse.'

In this hypnotic novel of psychological suspense, a homeless man is found starved to death in the garage of a ritzy London home. The police chalk it up to an unfortunate accident, but a journalist, Michael Deacon, is intrigued.
