Death of Mr Dodsley

Mr. Richard Dodsley, owner of a fine second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road, has been found murdered in the cold hours of the morning. Shot in his own office, few clues remain besides three cigarette ends, two spent matches and a few books on the shelves which have been rearranged.

Intr-o investigatie care acopera librariile second-hand din Londra si Camerele Parlamentului (din moment ce noul roman politist al unui deputat, Death at the Desk pare sa aiba vreo legatura cu cazul), detectivul din serialul lui Ferguson, MacNab, este la indemana pentru a ajuta Scotland Yard intr-un bibliomister fair-play atmosferic si ingenios.
