Coral of Coral Catering is a long-time client of the agency and a personal friend of Bea’s. Twice recently she’s catered for a charity event and the organisers’ cheques have bounced. Coral can’t go to the police because of irregularities paying her staff in cash. When Bea and her two young lodgers start to investigate, they discover that the gang has done it before, and plan to do it again – on their very doorstep. What they don’t know is that one member of the gang is way out of control and finding it all too easy to kill.
