Details

Synopsis Julian Whyte is content with his placid smalltown life--barrister and county coroner, he lives on his own in Mansfield, England. For years his brother Raymond had lived an expat's life in Berlin, until the wall came down and with it, a home for his communist ideals. When Raymond moves to Mansfield with his German wife, Kristina, Julian's growing attraction to her creates strife between the brothers...and perhaps even murder.
