Crown Witness (Dales Mystery Library)

A Nell Bray mystery. The Saturday before the coronation of George V, Nell Bray and her fellow suffragettes decide to organise a Women's Procession, ending with a rally at the Royal Albert Hall. All goes well until a fire breaks out on a float, a shot is fired and her well-meaning but hapless friend, Simon Frater, is left holding a gun over a dead body! Simon is accused of murder and Nell is hauled before the beak for obstruction. All Nell learns more about the identity of the murdered man and the intriguing contents of the float, the mystery assumes political as well as personal import...
