Paige Vallis claimed that she gave in to Tripping's sexual demands
because he had threatened to harm his son if she didn't. Alexandra
Cooper, prosecuting the ex-CIA man, knew she had her work cut out
to convince the jury, but before Paige could complete her testimony
on the stand she is found dead - strangled in her own apartment
building, just hours after she'd confessed to Alex that she had had
a relationship with another ex-CIA operative. While the accusation
of rape against Tripping is dropped, he has other charges to face,
not least abusing his own child. As Tripping's defence team go into
overdrive to keep their client out of jail, Alex, Chapman and
Mercer set out to discover who so conveniently killed the woman who
could have put him behind bars. As they peel back the layers of
Paige's life, they discover a decades-old viper's nest of robbery
and double-dealing and discover that truth of the adage of money
being at the root of all evil - however old and 'respectable' it
might be.
