      About This Book

      The quiet English village of Branston seemed an ideal place for Crown Prosecutor Helen West and Detective Chief Inspector Geoffrey Bailey to nurture their new relationship. It was certainly an unlikely spot for a crime of passion--but what else could account for the naked, hastily buried body of a woman found overnight in the woods?

      For Bailey, the trail led easily to Anthony Sumner, the local English teacher. He'd had an affair with the dead woman, and even admitted to an ugly scene that ended with his hitting the lady with his walking stick. Though Sumner staunchly denied stabbing her in the throat, only Helen doubted his guilt.
