Sitting in a Lloyd Loom chair on a Narrow Boat, moored on the
Kennet and Avon Canal, a dead man stares into oblivion. Who is he
and what is his name? Chief Inspector Michael Lambert from Thames
Valley Police Authority unravels a murder case which stretches from
Reading to Bulgaria, South Africa to Belorussia, and finally Taiwan
to Peru. What at first appears to be a straightforward murder is
revealed to be part of an international manhunt, the result of a
major arms deal which has gone horribly wrong. The story begins
with the discovery of a small mobile phone on the narrow boat and
ends with the murder of a Chinese shipping magnate in the streets
of London. Will anyone's life be the same again and how will our
provincial policeman cope with these different layers of intrigue?
Against a backdrop of political change in South Eastern Europe, the
story embraces disgruntled communists, cold war warriors, intrigue,
deception and finally murder. Sir Arthur Cumberpot has an
unspectacular career which is swiftly drawn to a close when he is
appointed British Ambassador to Bulgaria. Due to some unforeseen
mishaps his wife Annabel is accused of being a spy and sent home to
their house in Watlington while her background is checked by MI5.
Annabel is guilty of nothing, other than being the biological
daughter of Jim Kilbey, Britain's most famous spy. It seems that a
jealous god has sought to visit the sins of the father upon her,
but so has everyone else. She is the victim of serendipity, but
also of cover ups, the duplication of thin evidence and
exaggeration. But she is also heartless, treacherous, self
indulgent and without shame.
