A Scandal in Belgravia

Más información sobre el libro

AN INCONVENIENT CORPSE They met in the early 1950s, fledgling diplomats in the Foreign Office. Naive Peter Proctor was possessed by middle-class morality and ambition. Witty, reckless Timothy Wycliffe was an aristocrat whose shocking sexual appetites were the talk of genteel Belgrave Square. Wycliffe's private life never became anything worse than a scandal in Belgravia. Except, of course, briefly, when he was bludgeoned to death -- an event buried by the Suez crisis. Thirty years later, Peter Proctor, sacked former cabinet minister, sets aside his stalled memoirs to pursue his obsession: the death of Timothy Wycliffe. What he discovers is enough to shatter an empire -- and turn blood to ice.
