Death at The Savoy

audioboek


Itā€™s 1968, London is in full swing, and the Savoy Hotel is at the height of its legendary glitz and glamour, welcoming the rich, famous, and aristocratic into its rarified world of perfection. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are squabbling in the American Bar while NoĆ«l Coward drinks champagne. Royals wait upstairs in luxurious suites for discreet encounters. All is as it should be at the Savoy. If only it werenā€™t for the dead body in Room 705. Could it be murder? Impossible! Who could have done such a thing? Suspicion falls upon Priscilla Tempest, the quick-witted Canadian head of the Savoy press office who has a penchant for champagne, the wrong sort of menā€”and trouble. When it is discovered that Priscilla had been with the deceasedā€”a notorious international arms dealerā€”the night before he was found dead, she is questioned by Scotland Yard Inspector Robert ā€œChargerā€ Lightfoot and is suddenly under the unforgiving eye of her boss, the Savoyā€™s straitlaced general manager, Clive Banville. With her job on the line and her life in danger, Priscilla must elude the police and the general managerā€™s duplicitous wife, ward off the amorous advances of a famous drunken actor, and discover whether that really was a member of the royal family seen leaving the victimā€™s suite shortly before his body was discovered.
