A brilliant QC is found dead in her chambers, killed by a single knife wound to the heart - but chillingly drenched in a colleague's blood...Ambitious, forthright, cold and aggressive, Venetia Aldridge (Penny Downie) has made many enemies both inside and outside the legal profession. When Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) is called in to investigate, he finds no shortage of potential suspects - colleagues whose careers she's endangered, an ex-lover who's also an M.P. and even the office cleaner. At the same time, Venetia's teenage daughter is dating a known psychopath. Could he have murdered her mother? As Adam Dalgliesh closes in on the answer he discovers that the law may not be enough to close the case...and that the best he can hope for is 'A Certain Justice'...
