Editor Dick Chinnery travels to Cornwall to manage a group of newspapers
where he is soon made aware of simmering tensions among staff on the
Broad Bottom Herald Express as he tries to unravel numerous scams. When
a senior policeman who is helping to organise House of Commons lunches
for foreign diplomats sues the paper, Dick finds himself dealing with
MI5. Then a murderer strikes. Dick and his fellow editor and wife Mary
fear they may be the next victims in a newspaper office where nothing is
as it seems. Set against the backdrop of the buzz of the newspaper
world, Murder on the Herald Express is a cleverly plotted and cracking
good story.
