Coroner S v re has it all: a beautiful young wife, money, influence, and...secrets to kill for. Not only is a disease slowly crippling him, but his wife, Olivia, is a former prostitute who once served the Chief Magistrate himself - a man with cruel appetites. When S v re and Olivia begin to investigate the heinous crimes of Chief Magistrate Frost, more than the Coroner's career is at risk. S v re might just end up at the gallows.
