Lady Laura Welsford has recently lost her husband Sir Henry Welsford in a car accident. The
precise cause of the accident is not clear, but seems to relate to Henry s involvement with boxing.
Henry had been knighted several years earlier for his community work in promoting the sport of

name. Although this initially goes down very well, it transpires that, unknown to Oliver, Danny is in
cahoots with Laura, and has been supplying her with cannabis for her local baking business,
making laced chocolate brownies for some of the local residents, and which Oliver innocently
delivers. Laura and Danny are both aware of Oliver s plans to syphon off money for his own uses
and secretly conspire to foil Oliver s plans. This involves Danny being in control of the half a

too closely to her illegal business activities, she tries, unsuccessfully, to speak with the astrologer,
called Lisa. However, when she reads a follow-up edition, which contains even more worrying
predictions, predictions related to Oliver and his aspirations
