Scandalize My Name
Caroline, too, stared out at the restless traffic, her mindâs eye revolted by the memory of Ivan Sweetâs pale cold face and the explosive malice that had seethed behind his dead brown eyesâŠ
On the eve of Elaine Southeyâs 21st birthday, Ivan Sweet is found dead in his flat in the basement of the Southeysâ historic north London home. A slick charmer to some of the tenants â and a loathsome young scoundrel to others â his death doesnât draw out many tears among the houseâs residents and neighbours. And yet the sordid truth starts to seep into the heart of their small community â a murder is living among them, and whoâs to say when they might strike again? The shrewd Oxford man Superintendent Paul Grainger finds himself faced with a small circle of suspects whose connections and hidden motives heap complexity upon complexity in this tightly wrought mystery, shot through with a chilling touch of the macabre.
