It said that as he contributes nothing, he should do everyone a favor and take his own life. This is not the first such letter he's received but they are interrupted when Peverell employees discover the body of Sonya Clements in the firm's archives room. It has all of the hallmarks of a suicide and Dauntsey doesn't know if she too has been receiving letters. A portrait of Etienne's beloved predecessor is slashed and soon after his BMW is defaced with acid in the firm's garage. Dalgliesh believes someone has something against the firm but the working atmosphere has been bad since Gerard Etienne took charge a year ago. Etienne wants to sell the firm's beautiful Venetian building over the objection of Frances Peverell. After longtime author Esme Carling learns from Etienne that they will not publish her latest novel, she too is on the warpath against Etienne. There is soon another death at Peverell Press.
