Hot Toddy — Frank Palmer

MysteryLarge Print EditionDetective Superintendent Phil Sweeney Todd is fielded as a last minute substitute when a security service agent disappears hunting a renegade ex-spy handler at an international conference in Nottingham. A gun is missing. So is money from a slush fund. And when the MI5 man is found dead in a drain, Todd suspects an inside job. In an action-packed nine hours, Todds probe brings him into conflict with the agents partner, a powerful peer, a magazine editor, and a blonde translator who offers more than interpreting services . . .
