Death of the Puppetmaster [Book Blurb Friday #52]

Anton Worrall was dead – captured live on national television in the presence of upwards of fifty journalists, one of whom appeared to have fired the fatal bullet – there was no doubt of that. 
And precious little mourning.
But when the autopsy reveals not one but three potential causes of death, and at least two perfectly legal wills are found, one naming hitherto unknown-of children, the strings of his tightly-controlled life began to tangle more than could be thought possible.

Was it the bullet which killed him?   Or the accumulation of arsenic, discovered to have been administered by his mistress?   Or the cyanide pill found under his tongue, possibly crushed at the moment the bullet entered his body?
DI Luke Darbyshere is reliant on more than pathologist’s evidence to unravel this murder, especially when he discovers that his current girlfriend is a beneficiary of a large proportion of Worrall’s estate.
