A Corpse in Diplomacy

Tonight she had let him hold her hand. Tomorrow night? He went into her room. It was quiet, the bed unmade, the newspapers sprawled on the floor. Kate's maid was sick, he remembered. Well, he would tidy up the bed, anyway.

So he folded the papers and pulled the green cover from where it was bunched over the foot of her bed. He bent to straighten the folds on the side.

But he didn't straighten them, after all. Because a body was lying under the bed.

Intrigue in Washington; murder in diplomatic circles. Kate Whipple, Washington newspaper columnist, unpredictable and eager for a good story, finds herself the centre of a conspiracy.
