Perhaps it is a blessing when Jasmine Dent dies in her
sleep. At long last an end has come to the suffering of a
body horribly ravaged by disease. It may well have been
suicide; she had certainly expressed her willingness to
speed the inevitable. But small inconsistencies lead her
neighbor, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid of Scotland Yard,
to a startling conclusion: Jasmine Dent was murdered. But
if not for mercy, why would someone destroy a life already
so fragile and doomed? As Kincaid and his capable and
appealing assistant Sergeant Gemma James sift through the
dead woman's strange history, a troubling puzzle begins to
take shape — a bizarre amalgam of good and evil, of
charity and crime . . . and of the blinding passions that
can drive the human animal to perform cruel and inhuman
acts.
