A Timely Death

The fifth John McLeish/Francesca Wilson, first published in 1996, was described by critic T. J. Binyon as 'Her best novel yet' and as 'A superior whodunit' by the Daily Telegraph. William Price is a dodgy businessman already well-known to the Fraud Squad. When his dead body is discovered (by a Member of Parliament no less) following what appears to have been a bizarre sexual experiment, he becomes a matter of interest to Detective Chief Superintendent John McLeish, assisted by his wife Francesca, whose detective skills are as finely honed as her husband's.
