Bitter end

the long version

"When Vanessa Grassick and her neighbour Jamie Ford die in a gas explosion, Tam Buchanan wishes his practice was anywhere but Edinburgh. His law firm is executor of Vanessa's will and this case is promising serious trouble. The deaths have been declared a tragic accident, but Tam has his doubts. What, for instance, were Vanessa and Jamie doing together when the blast happened at half past two in the morning? But can Tam afford suspicions of a cover-up when Vanessa's husband is an influential advocate in the city? Morality soon wins out though, and Tam and his assistant, Fizz, set out to discover the truth. Unfortunately, someone seems determined to ensure they never do."--Publisher descirption.
