When a glamorous woman dies in a luxurious London mansion and her husband evaporates, a murder that will shake up high society begins. But the police are shocked to discover that the couple never existed: their names are missing from the voter's register, there is no record of them on the Internet, they have no national security numbers, and no employment history. They are complete ghosts. The only clues are the objects deliberately placed around the body, including a mysterious set of keys and a copy of the book How to Handle a Dead Body by criminology professor Lawton Rees. How to Handle Murder by criminology professor Loudon Rees. The appearance of the book not only implicates her in the media-focused murder, but also rips open a past she's tried to forget. Since the brutal murder of her mother when she was a young girl, Lawton has been left with an unhealed psychological scar and has never touched an investigated murder or been to a crime scene. However, in order to get to the bottom of the matter and protect her young daughter, she is forced to face the tragedy that destroyed her family once again. And this time, her past and present begin to overlap.
