Corridors of Death: A Robert Amiss Mystery
Battered to death with a piece of abstract sculpture titled Reconciliation, Whitehall departmental head Sir Nicholas Clark is described as a fine and respected public servant cut off in his prime. Scotland Yard's Superintendent Jim Milton realizes that's far from true in this satire about the British Establishment.

Über den Autor
Dr Ruth Dudley Edwards was born and brought up in Dublin, Ireland. Since she graduated she has lived in England, where she has been a teacher, a Cambridge postgraduate student, a marketing executive, a civil servant and, finally, a freelance writer, journalist and broadcaster. An historian and prize-winning biographer, her recent non-fiction includes the authorized history of The Economist, a portrait of the British Foreign Office and a book about the newspaper world of the mid-twentieth century. She uses her knowledge of the British establishment in her satirical crime novels: targets so far include the civil service, gentlemen's clubs, Cambridge colleges, the House of Lords, the Church of England, publishing, literary prizes and - always - political correctness. She has three times been short-listed for awards from the Crime Writers' Association.
