Description
When policemen remove their hats, they do not bring good news. The bare-headed policeman on Trudi Adamson’s doorstep brought the worst news possible – her husband Trent has been burned to death in a freak car accident. Suddenly a widow after years of marriage, Trudi finds herself alone, unprovided for an increasingly aware of her ignorance of her late husband's world. Why had he resigned from his job without telling her? Where was all his money? And more terrifying still: is he really dead?
