Book description
Isabel Dalhousie, philosopher and amateur solver of other people's
problems, meets an old foe, Minty Auchterlonie, at a birthday party
attended by their young children. Ambitious Minty, now the head of a
small investment bank, is in trouble with her shareholders. Isabel
becomes involved, and is drawn into a murky world of financial
concealment. Minty is not the only high-flier in Isabel's life; her
niece Cat has just become engaged to a tightrope-walking stuntman.
Isabel fears his next job - and the engagement - could end in disaster.
Meanwhile, her own boyfriend Jamie has marriage in mind too . . .
