Dangerous to Know retraces the dramatic life and death of an enigmatic millionaire, Sebastian Locke, and the disintegration of his family. A well-known philanthropist, Locke is suddenly found dead in suspicious circumstances. The police are baffled - has he been murdered and couldsuch an upstanding man have enemies? His former wife, journalist Vivienne Trent, sets out to find the truth about his death and, in doing so, also unravels the mystery of the man and his past.

Dangerous to Know stars Rula Lenska and Michael Praed who are joined by Peter Byrne, Charlotte Weston and Dorota Puzio. This novel is adapted for the stage by Hugh Janes and directed by Roger Redfarn.
