Political Death by Antonia Fraser
When the wayward lady Imogen Swain summons journalist Jemima Shore to her home, Jemima once again finds herself in the thick of love affairs--old and new--intrigue, and betrayal. For the colorful Lady Imogen kept diaries documenting her passionate affair with a rising young politician who has since risen to high ranks in the government. Increasingly eccentric as the years have passed, Lady Imogen now threatens to reveal details of the affair, and of the subsequent and unsolved disappearance of a young journalist. Jemima's meeting with Lady Imogen is the first step in a sinister series of events which will remind the reader why Antonia Fraser is the reigning queen of murder--British style!Love and Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette (which was adapted into a film by Sofia Coppola), The Wives of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scots, Faith and Treason: The Tale of the Gunpowder Plot, and Perilous Question: Reform or Revolution? are among Antonia Fraser's numerous worldwide bestselling historical writings.
