    • Sarah Caudwell schreibt in bester Krimi-Tradition - hoch spannend und voller Humor. Der Londoner Anwalt Michael Cantrip ermittelt in einer Steuerangelegenheit auf den britischen Kanalinseln. Schnell gerät er in einen Sumpf aus undurchsichtigen Geschäftsverbindungen, windigen Briefkastenfirmen und gerissenen Rechtsverdrehern. Als dann auch noch ein mysteriöser Unfall geschieht und Cantrip nur knapp einem Anschlag auf sein Leben entgehen kann, wird es höchster Zeit für Hilary Tamar, sich in der Angelegenheit anzunehmen...
