Ian frowned. ‘Someone who sprays perfume on women’s wrists so they can sample it? That has to be pretty safe, doesn’t it?’

Geraldine laughed. ‘But what if no one wanted to buy my perfume?’

‘Then I’d come along and buy the whole shopful of perfume from you.’

‘And what would you do with all that perfume?’

‘Give it to you of course.’

They both laughed.

‘Tell me,’ Ian said, ‘how did you used to unwind after an investigation, before I moved in with you?’

‘Well, I’d pour myself a glass of wine, put my feet up, and watch something on the telly, or put on some music and read, anything relaxing to take my mind off the case.’

Ian smiled and put his arms around her. ‘I can think of something to take your mind off the case,’ he said, and he leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips.

I would like to thank Dr Leonard Russell for his medical expertise.

My thanks go to Ion Mills, Claire Watts, Clare Quinlivan, and all the wonderful team at No Exit Press for their continued support over the years that Geraldine Steel has been conducting her investigations. It is a joy and a privilege to work with such professional and kindhearted people.

I would also like to thank my superb editor, Keshini Naidoo, for her brilliant insights, and my copy editor Jayne Lewis for her infallible attention to detail.

I look forward to working with the team again on Geraldine’s future investigations!

A Letter from Leigh

I hope you enjoyed reading this book in my Geraldine Steel series. Readers are the key to the writing process, so I’m thrilled that you’ve joined me on my writing journey.

You might not want to meet some of my characters on a dark night – I know I wouldn’t! – but hopefully you want to read about Geraldine’s other investigations. Her work is always her priority because she cares deeply about justice, but she also has her own life. Many readers care about what happens to her. I hope you join them, and become a fan of Geraldine Steel, and her colleague Ian Peterson.

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you’ll know that I love to hear from readers. I always respond to comments from fans, and hope you will follow me on @LeighRussell and www.facebook.com/leigh.russell.50 or drop me an email via my website www.leighrussell.co.uk.

That way you can be sure to get news of the latest offers on my books. You might also like to sign up for my newsletter on www.leighrussell.co.uk/news to make sure you’re one of the first to know when a new book is coming out. We’ll be running competitions, and I’ll also notify you of any events where I’ll be appearing.
