Truth is rarely pure rather than simple... Selchester Castle in 1953 sits silent and near-empty, its corridors echoing with glories of days gone by. Or so it seems to intelligence official Hugo Hawksworth, wounded on a secret mission and now reluctantly assuming an totally less perilous role at Selchester. The Castle's faded grandeur hides an online of secrets and scandals - the Earl has been lacking for seven years, lost without a trace since the night he left his guests and walked away into a blizzard. When a skeleton is uncovered beneath the flagstones of the Old Chapel, the authorities produce a think and declare the situation closed. Hugo is not convinced. By using the spirited Freya Wryton, the Earl's niece, he is drawn back to lively service, and the historical town of Selchester is dragged into the intrigues and conspiracies of the Cool War era. With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie and a nod to Le Carré, A Man of Some Repute is the first reserve in this delightfully classic and witty murder puzzle series.
