When Polly Carter, a famous model with an infamous heroin habit, is found dead at the base of a cliff near her Sainte Marie home, DCI Richard Poole realizes her suicide is actually murder. As Poole and his team dig into the case, there is no shortage of reasons why everyone in her life wanted her dead.
