False Diamond : An Abbot Agency Mystery

Bok av Veronica Heley
The fake diamond in Dilys Holland's engagement ring implies that all is not well in her marriage. Which turns out to be the case - as Bea Abbot discovers that Dilys and her little girl live in fear of her abusive husband, Benton. Benton wants Bea to rescue the ailing fortunes of his company, part of the Holland empire, and turns very nasty when she turns him down. To make matters worse, Bea's Member of Parliament son has tied both his fortune and his marriage to Benton's future and is desperate for Bea to rescue him. Then Dilys tries to commit suicide ...or does she?
