RAY HARRISON - A Season for Death

London, England, Quartet Crime, 1987. 1st Uk Edition, Binding: Cloth, Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0704326299 Hardback Here Constable James Morton of the City of London Police, temporarily seconded to the Prince of Wales's household, is guarding his royal master as the latter progresses from race-track to gambling rooms to mistress's villa. Meanwhile Morton's superior Seargeant Bragg, has been called in to investigate the bizarre death, seemingly by accident, of the dean of St. Paul's. In his latests novel the author illuminates not only the brilliant, raffish facade of high society in the late Victorian age, but also the sordid scandals, sexual and financial, that lay behind it.
