- Carter's school-teacher wife Alison is deliberately killed by a hit and run driver whilst posting his football pools. Alison had actually borrowed a coat from Judy, the French mistress, who consequently goes on the run as it was clear that she was the intended victim. On her trips to France with her class she had become involved with a gang for whom she would smuggle goods but has made it clear that she wanted out, hence the attempt to silence her. Regan has to find her before Crofts, the gang boss, gets to her.—don @ minifie-1
- George Carter's wife Alison dies in an apparently random traffic accident, but his suspicions are aroused when one of her fellow teachers vanishes without explanation and the case begins to link into Jack Regan's investigation into a series of jewel robberies. It becomes increasingly obvious that Alison was the victim of mistaken identity - and that her colleague was the true target.
