Edmund Burke is a member of the House of Commons. His profession made him a target for many people... but it's not him who loses his life.

While on an outing with his young beautiful lover, he takes his wife's dog for a short walk. When he returns, he finds her in his car ... murdered.

He decides to not report the death ... the hint of an affair will ruin his reputation. So he calls an old friend for help.

Eventually, when the crime is discovered, he is number one suspect and all clues seem to point directly to him.

A man comes forward and says he knows that Burke is responsible.

Who is this man? Is Burke being framed? Or is Burke lying about what happened?

I found this book to be a little slow in the beginning, but it did pick up pace, leading to a surprising conclusion. Not all the characters are likeable .... just the way the author meant them to be. I didn't find this one highly suspenseful, but it was mysterious.
