Leaving her new home in California for a trade union conference in Sheffield, Lindsay Gordon finds herself in the company of old friends—and enemies, including Tom Jack. When this unethical union leader is found dead, having catapulted out of Lindsay’s tenth-floor hotel room, she is taken in for questioning by the police. Hoping to clear her name by finding the real killer, Lindsay searches among hundreds of unruly union delegates for a murderer who may have struck once before. Along the way she uncovers a seething cauldron of blackmail, corruption, and abuse of power, all brought to the boil by her investigation. Reviews for Conferences are Murder “Neatly constructed and splendidly sarcastic about the circus of union politics.” —Daily Telegraph “Tough, exciting, moody and unpredictable.” —The Times “Full of bitchery and backbiting, excellently done.” —Literary Review |
