Headlong by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
Bill Slider and his team investigate the death of a prominent literary agent in this intriguing contemporary mystery.When one of London's best-known literary agents is found dead in strange circumstances, having fallen headlong from his office window, DCI Slider is under pressure from the Borough Commander to confirm a case of accidental death. But when the evidence points to murder, Slider and his team find themselves uncovering some decidedly scandalous secrets in the suave and successful Ed Wiseman's past. An embittered ex-wife. A discarded mistress. A frustrated would-be author. A disgruntled former employee. Many had reason to hold a grudge against the late lamented literary agent. But who would feel strongly enough to kill him? Any leads in the investigation seem only to result in more questions - not least of which is the identity of the elusive Calliope Hunt. Who is she - and what is her connection to the train of events?Cynthia Harrod-Eagles was born and raised in Shepherd's Bush, London, and worked in a number of commercial roles, beginning as a junior cashier at Woolworth's and progressing to Pensions Officer at the BBC. In 1973, she won the Young Writer's Prize, and in 1978, she became a full-time writer. She has published sixty books to date, including the twenty-five volumes of the Morland Dynasty series.
