Tea? Coffee? Murder! - The Price of Justice

But his girlfriend Louise - once an agent of the Crown - is far from reassured. And when a brick crashes through the window of Martin's office in Earlsraven, it becomes clear: the danger is real. But who is behind it all? Could it be a disgruntled former client, someone seeking revenge after losing in court? Nathalie and Louise search for suspects - until the situation suddenly escalates. A contract killer turns up in Martin's office, weapon in hand . . .
