Bestselling author Nicola Upson returns with her sixth novel in her Josephine Tey series.
It’s May 1937, and the capital is preparing to welcome a new king. At BBC’s Broadcasting House, Josephine Tey is overseeing a radio production of her play Queen Of Scots.
However, adultery and jealousy spill out from the pages of her manuscript into the corridors of the Radio Times. Detective Chief Inspector Archie Penrose investigates the murder of one of the BBC’s best-known broadcasters, and soon a second victim is found, who just happens to be his mistress, and the play’s leading actress.
Just how close to home is the killer, and are they linked to a society scandal from 10 years ago?
Office politics at the station takes Archie away from the high-profile case and Josephine is left to discover the truth.
