A tale out of school.
A Gothic tale of a doctor who is enamoured of the coquettish Esther Cohen, daughter of Eli, who meet together in Vienna.
A postgraduate philosophy seminar uncovers a plot of universal proportions.
The investigation almost grinds to a halt when the detectives seem to be making no headway and there is always the possibility that the crime was committed by an opportunist, passer-by with no criminal record. There is so little forensic evidence to help them solve this crime. It is Gerrard’s persistence in tracking down the killer that impresses his partner, Anna Rossi, although he has very little to go on.
The month is October, the year 2006. A woman's body is found in a park in the city of Bath. She is the mother of identical twin girls Isabella and Margherita Fellingham who are married to identical twin boys Paul and Michael Fellingham. Detective Chief Inspector Peter Gerrard and Detective Sergeant Anna Rossi investigate what seems like a hit and run accident, caused by Phil Dickinson. They discover that a nineteen year old vagrant, Tommy Mattheson, moved the body of Laura Fellingham and stole some of her possessions, namely a wristwatch, a mobile phone, some credit cards and cash. However, he maintains he didn’t kill her. Pathologist Dr Stephen Ray discovers that she had been fatally stabbed through the neck with a nail file.
After the inquest, the funeral, and the reading of the will, the once strong family now seems to fall apart. Isabella seeks the company of Michael. He is devoted to his academic work as a psychology teacher in a sixth-form college and distracted by attractive students like nubile seventeen year old Lucy Banks. Paul gets involved with a blackmailing young dancer in London, spending more and more time away from home to avoid the pressure of the police investigation and that of his wife, Isabella. Margherita, a nurse at a local hospital, leaves husband Michael to stay with a friend Sally Stoneham. She meets Sally’s next door neighbour and forms a strange relationship with him. She does not even know his name. She calls him Jack. He calls her Jill.
