A Better Quality Of Murder: (Inspector Ben Ross 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Together with the discovery of the body of a beautiful woman, lying strangled in Green Park (and one whose husband owned a gallery in Piccadilly), it must have given them more material than they could have dreamed of in their wildest moments. Naturally the two stories were linked. I was as irritated as Dunn was. In my mind there was still no proof that the River Wraith had killed Allegra Benedict. The press, however, was in no such doubt. The resultant story was splashed prominently across the newssheets beneath banner headlines. Nor was it only the popular press which made such a furore about it. The Daily Telegraph ran to half a page. It even earned a long paragraph in The Times (with an observation from a leading churchman about lawlessness on the streets). The hullabaloo was set to last until we made an arrest. In the following days there were letters to the papers; a Question was even asked in parliament. The Home Secretary, no less, was forced to rise to his feet to try and answer it.
