A dazzling ball in a rooftop ballroom in one of the most prestigious mansions in the country. Dancing, music, champagne, ravishing ball gowns, priceless jewellery...and murder. Jack Dutton died in the dark. Why? Who hated him enough to kill him? Why had he made a list of gemstones and their prices? What was he guilty of? Dutton had been a handsome war hero, but tragedy surrounded him, and his nature had always been unpredictable. When Lennox and Swift begin peeling away the layers of deceit, they uncover some vile secrets, secrets that have already led to Dutton's murder, and it's not long before there's another. Belvedere House hosts the highest of high society, and yet even among its glittering halls, evil creeps in to catch the unwary, and the unwitting.
