Publisher's Synopsis
Doctor Tudor Cornwall is head of criminal studies at the University of Wessex. Accompanied by his 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 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, can Tudor solve these and other mysteries before the ship docks?
