Attorney Lennox Kemp's reputation for falling over dead bodies had begun to precede him—Rich and poor. Lennoz Kemp knew they all had their peculiarities. Chasing errant husbands could be both irritating and frustratign. And rude, unwashed - and broke - Mr.s Sorrento didn't make the job any easier. On the other side of the tracks and just as seamy - although disguised behind fine crystal and patrician smiles - were the Courtenays. Twins Vivian and Venetia were rich, reckless and probably quite ruthless. They needed Kemp to oversee the legalities of rather bizarre plans for their massive inheritance. It's only when the paths of these clients cross that Kemp discovers he's unwittingly become a bit player in an elaborately staged performance of greed, deceit and murder...and that the next body that falls may be his own.
