Fisk has a personal connection to the apparent murder attempt on a husband and wife. But Tessa and Steve must discover whether it was a murder-suicide, a double murder attempt - or something else.
When Krystyan Balzan is found dead at the bottom of the stairs in his house, Steve and Tessa believe he came home unexpectedly and disturbed a robbery in progress. The facts seem to support this idea, but the theory is shaken when his wife, Lucy, is found close to death-is it suicide or attempted murder? Steve and Tessa are surprised to discover that Fisk is connected to this tale of murder.
