Hooked on a Ceiling

Poppy Shibamoto

After finding the body of their housemate hanging in the garage, four friends set out to discover the reason behind his suicide. They soon build up a picture of an Oxford City Council solicitor overwhelmed by his dealings with local councillors, national politicians and even, perhaps, the CIA.
