On an April evening, seven minutes be-
fore the new TV studios of Bath & Wells
are about to begin transmiuing, condi-
tions in the studio are frantic. To add to
the inevitable first-night jitters, Royalty
is on the premises, the electricians are
threatening to strike, and Bath & Wells
boss, Malcolm Gordon, has just substi-
tuted his nephew Christopher for the
highly experienced Jack Kemp as director
of tonight s program. Everyone expects
calamity--but hardly on the scale that
actually occnrs: At the moment the pro-
gram goes on the air, the studio lights fail
and someone is stabbed to death.
There are a dozen possible suspects in
the blood-soaked crowd that surrounds
the victim. Plenty of opportunity, plenty
of motive, but the police appear to regard
the wrong man as their number-one sus-
pect. His shocked colleagues raise a small
fund to hire a private detective, and the
obvious choice is quiet Mr. Pringle,
whose brilliant success in The Trouble
at Aquitane many readers will recall.
And brilliantly successhd he proves to
be again.
This is a splendid show business
thriller, taking us behind the scenes for
an authentic look at life--and death--in
the limelight.
