Joe and his lawyer Murray shared a passion for collecting fine art, but it was Joe who hid the stuff. Now Murray waits for the two women, but who holds the right key?

The third specially-commissioned story by Frances Fyfield examining the life of the deceased, from the perspectives of those who knew - or thought they knew - him best: his first love, his wife, and his trusted and shadowy lawyer.

Joe's trusted lawyer waits for the hearse outside a church in the City of London. While the two women put down Joe's frequent absences to assumed infidelity, Murray has a different take: 'Only two women in a life of fifty-five years? Well, that's because he was a man of huge but bridled passion.' And Murray and Joe shared a passion, namely, the less-than-kosher collecting of fine art and antiques. Murray is also waiting for the two women, but which one has the right key?
