Synopsis

For young barrister Julia Larwood, it was to be a vacation in pursuit of romance, and a flight from the tax man...in short, an Art Lover's Tour of Italy. Reduced to near penury by the Inland Revenue, Julia could hardly afford such luxury but she'd be in hock to the Revenue either way so why not? But poor, deluded Julia - how could she have known that the ravishing Art Lover for whom she had conceived a fatal passion was himself an employee of the Inland Revenue? Or that her hard-won night of passion would end in murder - with her personal, inscribed copy of the current Finance Act found lying a few feet away from the corpse...

When her personal copy of the current Finance Act is found a few metres away from a body, young barrister Julia Larwood finds herself caught up in a complex fight against the Inland Revenue. Set to have a vacation away from her home life and the tax man, Julia takes a trip with her art-loving boyfriend. However, all is not what it seems. Could he in fact be an employee of the establishment she has been trying to escape from? And how did her romantic luxurious holiday end in murder?
