With a foreword by Sophie Hannah‘He was lying sprawled on his stomach just outside the open doorway of his office, with his head and shoulders out of sight . . .’Frank Morningside, assistant at The National Press Archives on Fleet Street, is receiving nasty poison pen letters. His superior Toby Lorn wants to put a stop to it, so he calls on his friends Sally and Johnny Heldar. Married amateur sleuths, Sally and Johnny agree to go undercover, posing as researchers to scout out the many suspects in the archive. After all, Fleet Street is home to plenty of seedy types and murky happenings. But, soon after they begin, they find a body – bludgeoned to death by a box of glass negatives.
