"The body of James Partridge, Tory MP for the dreary Yorkshire district of East Bootham, is found in the Thames, and all assume the death to have been a suicide. All, that is, except Superintendent Sutcliffe of the London police, who wonders if Partridge might have been assisted in his fatal fall.
"Through the policeman's subsequent inquiries into the deceased's personal and political affairs, plus those of the principal candidates in the hasty by-election that follows -- Conservative, Labor, and Social Democrat, political animals all -- Robert Barnard trenchantly satirizes a ruthless political system while arriving at a solution both logical and completely astonishing."
