Jude Craig is having an affair. What had begun as just another gardening job, has blossomed into the sort of emotions that had long been missing with her husband Dan. But when Jude leaves the young, handsome Lee Han asleep in bed, whispering, "See you next week," little does she know what is about to happen next.
Lee's flat is torched. His burns are so bad his body is unrecognisable.
When Detective Inspector John Bright arrives to question Jude, she realises with a shudder that she was the last person to see him alive. Whoever started the fire had been watching the house, and had been waiting for her to leave. If that isn't traumatic enough, John Bright's questions are forcing her into a corner - how can she remove herself from the list of prime suspects without revealing her affair with Lee? How can she tell the truth without Dan finding out? Or maybe the truth is that Dan already knows . . .
