Finding the body of a young girl in the woods whilst musing on the frailties of human relationships (particularly those with his mistress and his wife) fails to make Peter's life less complicated.

It tumbles him into a period of enforced maturity when he either has to start sorting out his life or give himself up to his sexual longings.

This adult-rated book explores the complex emotional and sexual relationships between: husbands, wives and lovers against a mounting police investigation that seems to be focussing on him.
