From the bestselling author of How to Kill a Client and The Bluff comes a page-turning thriller of fraud and lies, murder and greed.
Ruth Dawson finds her ideal living space in an Art Deco building in Potts Point, The Lumen. A twenty-minute walk from her office in the city, the apartment boasts parquetry flooring, a wall of books and Harbour Bridge views from the sofa.
It's perfect until Ben, the homeless guy, dies under the corrugated iron lean-to in the garden where he lived.
The residents of The Lumen do little to hide their relief. They can cease their half-hearted attempts to find an acceptable solution to 'the Ben problem', and return to more important issues.
They're not happy when Ruth brings in a detective. But she's certain Ben was poisoned, and one of her neighbours knows it too.
