A whodunit with faith. A young couple celebrate their relationship over a meal in a city centre restaurant. He is the son of a successful Asian Moslem businessman. She is a bright English girl, involved with the media. They speed off into the city underpass. Their car smashes lethally into the concrete wall. Who was responsible? A jilted lover? A racist? This is Birmingham, September 1999. David Jeffery is a solicitor who knows both families. Dismissing the obvious suspect, he searches for the truth, taking us with him for 10 days, sharing his thoughts and feelings. David is a practising Christian and covers Christianity, Islam, and American coffee shops in England, the point of sermons, the ethics of air fresheners, and much more without demanding our immediate attention or distracting us from the compelling investigation into the truth.  360pp
