Sixth novel of the cycle "Verity Birdwood" The most terrible thing is Verity Birdwood! When Daphne Lam, the daughter of a wealthy farmer, was found brutally murdered, no one - from neighbors to policemen - had a shadow of doubt: of course, she was finished off by her hubby Trevor, this bully, drunkard and womanizer, who used his bright appearance without a twinge of conscience, to get out of poverty!
