A Conflict of Interests

Karen Whitfield's death seems to be a sordid but routine domestic murder. That is, until Detective Inspector Coghill starts to ask some questions: how does the wife of a low-paid travel courier afford to live at the height of luxury? What is the real source of her income?

It doesn't take much for Coghill to discover that Karen was a high-class call-girl with a number of well-connected clients, and a lucrative sideline in blackmail. But as his investigations progress he comes up against unexpected and dangerous opposition at all levels. Torn between his strong sense of duty and a natural concern for his career — and life — Coghill is soon caught up in a classic and alarming Conflict of Interests.
