This final volume of the James Ronald series contains a full-length novel, She Got what She Asked For, a swift moving American story of detection set in New York; and a novella, The Lonely Man, set in Scotland.

He goes to visit Claire to discuss a divorce, but is hit from behind on her doorstep. When Nick awakens inside the apartment, Claire is dead and his fingerprints are on pistol laying beside her body. It is down to an unconventional detective team to prove Nick innocent by fair means or foul.

A flat tyre on a lonely stretch of road leads her to the secluded home of a mysterious artist, Andrew Garvin, a man shunned by a whole community who suspect him of murdering his wife. Deborah rapidly finds herself in a mystery of prejudice and intrigue.
