Dying Fall (Detective Inspector Slider Mystery)

The woman's body is discovered at the foot of the stairs. It looks like a tragic accident - but DCI Slider, of the Shepherd's Bush murder squad, is convinced that's exactly what someone wants him to think. However, with no motive, no murder weapon and no idea who the victim is, can Slider find the evidence he needs before it's all too late?
