It all began one morning in the smoking room of the Department of
Health and Welfare.
That was where happily married Jack met the lovely
Grace. At first smoking was all they had in common. But soon they were
sharing a lot more. Love, as well as cigarette smoke, was in the
air.
But when Miriam, Jack's wife, began to suspect that his feelings
had changed, everything became a lot more dangerous. Because Miriam was
a woman who liked to get her own way, and this time she was playing to
win.
