In his third adventure, Doctor Tudor Cornwall,
head of criminal affairs at the University of Wessex, finds himself literally all
at sea. Accompanied by his precocious star pupil, Elizabeth Burney, Tudor boards
the good ship Duchess as a guest speaker on a transatlantic crossing which
goes spectacularly wrong.
Are the Irish journalists actually terrorists in thin disguise? Does the captain
really have laryngitis? How come Freddie Grim formerly of Scotland Yard is preaching
at matins? Was the flambé at Doctor and Frau Umlaut's table meant to be quite so
explosive? Is Prince Abdullah a real Royal?
And, most importantly of all, can Tudor solve these and other mysteries before the
ship docks?
Tim Heald is an ex-chair of the Crime Writers' Association and a Fellow of the Royal

and the Folio Society's four-volume selection of all-time great
crime stories.
