An Improbable Fiction

the long version

Antony Maitland #17 The death of Cynthia Edison, an attractive young rising star of the London stage, is dismissed as suicide, but her sister Lynn disagrees. On a nationwide broadcast Lynn accuses a prominent television personality, Paul Granville, of deliberate and premeditated murder, and when the not-unexpected slander suit develops she turns to barrister Antony Maitland for help. Reluctantly Antony agrees to argue what seems to be an open-and-shut case, but when the body of Paul Granville is found and the charge against his client is changed to murder, Antony suddenly finds himself involved in a much more complex case than he bargained for. - from inside front cover
