About this ebook

Jeremy Fisher is a smart doctor in what he calls the 'Jag belt, south of London'. His friends are rich, drink too much and call one another Bunny. If a young unmarried girl has to have an abortion, it is smoothly hushed up - unless she has one at cut-price rate and dies.

To oblige a friend, Jeremy Fisher agrees to keep quiet about the girl lying dead in his spare bedroom. But a blackmailer gets to work and Jeremy is exposed as a victim of malicious revenge.
