Originally published in 1932, this is the first Crime Classic novel written by an MP. And fittingly, the crime scene is within the House of Commons itself, in which a financier has been shot dead.
Entreated by the financier's daughter, a young parliamentary private secretary turns sleuth to find the identity of the murderer - the world of politics proving itself to be domain not only of lies and intrigue, but also danger.Wilkinson's own political career positioned her perfectly for this accurate but also sharply satirical novel of double cross and rivalries within the seat of the British Government.
