Mystery
During the investigation in 1968 into the assassination of
Robert Kennedy, several witnesses recalled seeing a girl in
a polka dot dress in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel. She
was never found. THE GIRL IN THE POLKA DOT DRESS is a vintage Bainbridge tale
of murder and retribution, underpinned by Bainbridge's
trademark and uniquely dark comedy. Aged twelve, Rose was
responsible for a terrible act. It was witnessed by Dr
Wheeler - who has kept silent for seven years - before his
departure for America. In London Rose meets another
American, Harold, who also knows Wheeler and has his own
reasons for wanting to find him - his wife had an affair
with him and committed suicide when it ended. Harold and
Rose travel across America in pursuit of the sinister Dr
Wheeler, before ending up at the Ambassador Hotel in Los
Angeles on the night of Robert Kennedy's fateful press
conference. Rose is wearing her favourite - polka dot - dress.
