A
classic
Golden
Age
detective
novel
set
at
the
heart
of
Westminster,
when
the
murder
of
the
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer
threatens
to
topple
the
whole
House
of
Cards…Many
highly
dramatic
and
historic
scenes
have
been
enacted
below
the
clock
of
Big
Ben,
but
none
more
sensational
than
on
that
April
afternoon
when,
before
the
eyes
of
a
chamber
crowded
to
capacity
for
the
Budget
Speech,
the
Chancellor
fell
headlong
to
the
floor
with
a
resounding
crash.
For
the
first
time
a
murder
had
been
committed
in
the
House
of
Commons
itself
–
and
Amos
Petrie
faced
the
toughest
case
of
his
career.In
Below
the
Clock,
John
Victor
Turner
–
a
journalist
who
as
David
Hume
had
become
known
as
‘the
new
Edgar
Wallace’
for
creating
Britain’s
first
hardboiled
detective
series
–
returned
to
classic
Golden
Age
writing
with
an
ingenious
whodunit
set
at
the
heart
of
the
establishment,
a
novel
that
did
the
unthinkable
by
turning
Parliament
into
a
crime
scene
and
all
its
Members
into
murder
suspects.This
Detective
Club
classic
is
introduced
by
David
Brawn,
who
looks
at
the
distinguished
crime-writing
career
of
J.
V.
Turner
and
his
alter
egos
Nicholas
Brady
and
David
Hume,
who
achieved
remarkable
success
with
nearly
50
books
in
only
14 years.
