Summary

Mr. Richard Dodsley, owner of a fine second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road, has been found murdered in the cold hours of the morning. Shot in his own office, few clues remain besides three cigarette ends, two spent matches and a few books on the shelves which have been rearranged.

In an investigation spanning the second-hand bookshops of London and the Houses of Parliament - since an MP's new crime novel Death at the Desk appears to have some bearing on the case - John Ferguson's series sleuth MacNab is at hand to assist Scotland Yard in an atmospheric and ingenious fair-play bibliomystery.

A Plodding tale of Plod Folk

A plodding tale of PC Plod. This is a very tedious book narrated in a slow and irritating manner. The dialogue is cliched and laborious and the storyline poorly developed. Perhaps scraping the barrel of the “Golden Age” now.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
