Manling Tsang and Neal Williams were naive youngsters who fell into marriage in a hurry. Neither was well prepared for parenthood or the responsibilities of adult life. But instead of seeking a divorce, Manling planned to rid herself of her young family in a scheme of breathtaking cruelty.

Alice Farquharson was the centre of her family. Her husband Keith was a police officer with a chequered history of misogyny and extramarital affairs. When Alice unexpectedly died, her family and police were shocked to discover the cause.
