When Amy Grassick dies in a gas explosion, Tam Buchanan wishes he were anywhere but in Edinburgh. His law firm is executor of Amy's will and this case is promising serious trouble. Amy's husband, Lawrence, is probably the most influential advocate in the city - a man whose opinion could make or break Tam's career. What's worrying Tam is that he's pretty sure that Amy's death was no tragic accident. Soon Tam - and the irrepressible Fizz, of course - find themselves walking a very precarious tightrope indeed.
