Anthony Wistern is dead, leaving behind a rich and powerful family with plenty to protect. His wife and four children have their own ambitions, resentments and reasons to want control of what comes next.

Meanwhile, an outsider fascinated by true crime is determined to uncover what happened. Bella Mackie combines a murder mystery with a sharp look at wealth, inheritance and the behaviour of people who expect to get their way. This English-language paperback follows the author’s novel How to Kill Your Family.
