Mystery
Battered to death with a piece of abstract sculpture titled
'Reconciliation, ' Whitehall departmental head Sir Nicholas
Clark is claimed by his colleagues to have been a fine and
respected public servant cut off in his prime. Bewildered by
the labyrinthine bureaucracy of Whitehall, Scotland Yard's
Superintendent Jim Milton recognizes a potential ally in
Clark's young Private Secretary, Robert Amiss. Milton soon
learns from Amiss how Whitehall works: that it can be
Machiavellian and potentially homicidal, that Sir Nicholas
was obnoxious and widely loathed, that he had spent the
weeks before his murder upsetting and antagonizing family
and associates, and that his last morning on earth had been
spent gleefully observing the success of his plan to
embarrass his minister and his department publicly. And they
still need to discover who wielded the blunt instrument.
This is the first of Ruth Dudley Edwards' witty,
iconoclastic but warm-hearted satires about the British
Establishment. Dr. Ruth Dudley Edwards was born and brought
up in Dublin, Ireland. An historian and prize-winning
biographer, she uses her knowledge of the British
establishment in her satirical crime novels. She has three
times been short-listed for awards from the Crime Writers'
Association. www.ruthdudleyedwards.com
