Description
“It has been evident to me for some time that this country, the Empire and all that you and I hold dear are in deadly peril.”
Mrs. Warren Clinton, the American millionaire, summons nine talented individuals to the Royal Sceptre Hotel. Her stated purpose—to save the British Empire. Through a series of fiendish intellectual tests, she whittles the numbers down to two—only for the chosen pair to be found murdered, and for Mrs. Clinton to have vanished without trace.
Faced with the possibility of an international conspiracy, rooted in Nazi Germany, Anthony Bathurst finds himself challenged as never before. Are all of the guests invited to the hotel exactly whom they appear to be? Who can be trusted—and who is a ruthless murderer?
Glittering Prizes was first published in 1942. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.
