"Trudy has betrayed her husband, John, who trusts and adores her. She's still in their martial home--a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse--expecting their first baby, but John's not there. Instead, she's with his brother, Claude, and the two of them are hatching a murderous plan. But there is an unexpected witness to their plotting, who cares deeply about the outcome: the smart, inquisitive about-to-be-born resident of Trudy's womb, hearing all and anxious to save his father."--Provided by publisher.
