Overview

Is Arabella Snelfrove, isolated and apparently alone in her typical English cottage, the perfect, upright, law-abiding citizen? Brian Wedmore, an inspector from the Department of Social Security, throws grave suspicions on Arabella's honesty. He wonders if her elderly mother, for whom she claims a pension, exists at all: why is she never seen? A tense, tantalizing, psychological thriller with the most unexpected twist.
