Richard Jury is meeting Tom Williamson at Vertigo 42, a bar in London's financial district. Tom is convinced his wife, Tess, was murdered seventeen years ago. The inspector in charge of the case was sure Tess's death was accidental, a direct result of vertigo - but the official police inquiry is still an open verdict. Jury and his sidekick Sergeant Wiggins learn that a nine-year-old girl fell to her death five years before Tess at the same country house in Devon where Tess died.
