This is the third book in the Inspector Alleyn series. The death of a prominent member of Parliament dies after an emergency surgery at a nursing home (British for private hospital) and most thought it was just an unfortunate outcome. However, his wife insists on an inquest which brings Alleyn into the investigation of who injected the MP with a fatal dose of a drug. The surgeon is the prime suspect along with the nurse who had an affair with the MP. Then there are others on the surgical team with connections to communist agitators who could also have played a part in the murder. The murderer is revealed after Alleyn stages a reenactment of the surgery. Alleyn's reporter friend, Nigel Bathgate, assists with the investigation.
