Scott Muir, handsome, rich, a noted Lothario, was envied, but seldom liked; when, at his party, Laura and Keir Locke learned he might have been the man whose malign influence had led their daughter to commit suicide, their dislike turned to hatred. On Saturday, Muir entertained Tabitha - she would have tempted a misogynist to recant - at Sa Rotaga. So when he was found dead in his swimming pool, she became an important witness and it was Alvarez's duty to question her; a duty which, for once, he was happy to carry out. It was only later he understood that Dolores, his cousin, had spoken truly when she said that the years brought a woman wisdom, a man, folly.
