Book excerpt: Working with figures all her life Eve Somerset is persuaded to look in to the possibility of irregularities within the Greenway Holder Group of companies. The Inland Revenue dont have any issues and the police cannot get involved in an unofficial capacity, Eve is sceptical but agrees to see what see what she can find. When the body found in the burnt out remains of a stolen car is identified as the editor of the local newspaper, Bert Foxley, everyone is in shock. The unexpected arrival of James Foxley helps Eve in many ways but also adds to her confusion. The investigation in to Bert Foxleys death is going nowhere, no motive, no suspect. Eve is getting nowhere fast as she continues to look into the workings of Greenway Holder getting more confused by the day. But slowly, inexorably the two events are drawing together. A seemingly unconnected comment from James Foxley and the admission that his brother had been the recipient of a hate campaign that had gone on for years send Eve to the hospital bedside of a long-time acquaintance where she hears a terrible confession. Nothing to do with Berts death, she is assured. The problems at Greenway Holder and Eves conclusions are handed over to the police and in attempt to help keep an eye on the Greenway Holder staff possibly involved, Eve makes a startling discovery that provides the police with both motive and suspect for the murder of the newspaper editor. The trial of the accused, which should be straight forward and uncomplicated, proves to be anything but. A Not Guilty plea and the arrival of a hot-shot, media savvy defence barrister and the revelations that follow turn the justice system upside down. Its said you cant get away with murder.......................Dont you believe it!
