About the Author

Gillian Linscott has been a journalist and radio correspondent, and is now a full time writer. She is an active rider, skier and climber.

From Kirkus Reviews

Nell Bray wasn't one of the militant suffragettes who planted a bomb in David Lloyd George's housein fact, she was identified on the scene because she tried to stop the bombingbut now she's threatened with prison unless she accepts an unusual mission from the charismatic Chancellor of the Exchequer: to worm her way into the confidence of barefoot society dancer Oriana Paphos and discover the whereabouts of a cache of politically indiscreet letters Lloyd George is convinced Paphos and her oily manager, Leon Sylvan, have stolen. Since the letters have already caused the death of one would-be recoverer, and the dancer is something of a magnet for unwary males, Lloyd George is convinced that Nell is just the person to look for them at a private staging of Strauss's scandalous opera Salome that Liberal publisher Jack Belter, avid for a title, is staging to lure La Paphos back to England. But the minister's commission makes Nell uneasy for another reason as well: How did His Majesty's Government get such precise information about the bombing? In addition to recovering the compromising letters before they can be sold to a swaggering Germany, Nell vows to identify the police agent who's infiltrated her suffragette circle. Nell's seventh (Dead Man's Sweetheart, 1996, etc.) takes a charmingly retro premisethe fatal lettersand fills them out with colorful characters, false situations, and surprises galore in her sharpest, most ambitious case yet. -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 250 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 55 3/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Nell Bray would do almost anything for the Vote, but planting a bomb in a house belonging to David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is where she draws the line. Her friends have other ideas and, in trying to head them off, Nell becomes a leading suspect. But instead of landing up in a prison cell again, she receives an urgent invitation to breakfast at 11 Downing Street with Lloyd George himself. Lloyd George has a deal to offer. In return for Nell's help in recovering politically embarrassing letters, he will see that charges are dropped against everybody involved and maybe throw in the Vote as well. There are just a few little annoyances to deal with, including barefoot dancer and suspect spy Oriana Paphos. She's determined to dance Salome and doesn't care whose head rolls in the process. Then there's Oriana's manager, Leon Sylvan, whose appetites include raw steak, other people's motor cars, and money. The last person Lloyd George sent to tangle with these two ended up dead in a bath with his wrists cut. But Nell is in no position to refuse. To make matters worse, there's another spy, near the heart of the suffragette movement, and her help is urgently needed before true disaster strikes. Condition: Heal corner's bumped else a near fine copy in a fine jacket. Seller Inventory # BOOKS005414
