Publisher's Synopsis
Even though he had been diagnosed with a fatal illness, the apparent suicide of Robert Anstey, sole owner of the highly successful Paragon Tools, came as a shock to those who knew him. Why would he bother to take his prescribed medicine in the correct quantity before overdosing on sleeping pills? Ten-year-old Billy Coleman, his stepmother off on holiday with her new boyfriend, has disappeared after being left alone at home. Evidence begins to emerge which suggests he has been in the Anstey's house. Is there a link between the two cases? Robert Anstey's death touches the lives of a wide network of people and reveals the darker sides of many of them as a web of lies, corruption and greed comes to light.
