Description
When an official visit to London takes an unexpected turn, Chief Superintendent Alleyn is called in to persuade the president of Ng'ombwana to reconsider his security arrangements. A night of tension and danger unfolds at the embassy's reception, where an assassin strikes.
A complex web of help is spun by Special Branch and a tribal court, but it's not just human expertise that proves crucial in solving the case - a small black cat named Lucy Lockett plays a key role in uncovering the truth.
