Synopsis: From the book: "Housekeeper required: country couple. References essential." When forty-four-year-old Chloe Smith, once more on her uppers, answered this advertisement, she little guessed it would involve her in a dramatic night over forty years previously, and a lady plunging to her death from a Dorset cliff top. Nor did she imagine it would end with her sitting in a dock in Winchester Crown Court two years later on a charge of murder. It is a part of the country which holds many memories for Chloe. She spent much of her early life there, moving with her parents from army posting to army posting, eventually settling in Salisbury when her raffish but musically talented father was disgraced on a tour of Singapore and returned home. Later, in Southampton, she played the piano with the Sweet and Low ensemble and worked for Mr. Pyecraft, antique dealer and owner of Fluff, the cowardly rottweiler. It was also here that she first encountered Zane, her irresistibly attractive husband and great love, who proves to be a small-time crook, and appears and disappears without warning, but with astonishing regularity.
