Princess of the Savoy
A Priscilla Tempest Mystery
Check back into London’s posh Savoy Hotel in the swinging sixties where dark forces and murder are uninvited guests – volume 3 in the cheeky series that is now a French bestseller.
Everything at London’s Savoy Hotel appears to be the picture of perfection: two Italian princes are checking in and an amorous English lord is taking photographs on the rooftop.
But in the Savoy Press Office, it’s a different picture entirely. There, Miss Priscilla Tempest is scrambling to avoid a boss who would like to be rid of her, a threatening American gangster, and the rather thrilling star of the Tarzan movies.
And it isn’t long before a fascist plot, hatched in an English country estate, arrives to truly ruin her day – and threaten British democracy.
In this third installment in Ron Base and Prudence Emery’s beloved series, reluctant crime-fighter Priscilla Tempest joins forces with her would-be lover – the ink-stained scribe of Fleet Street, Percy Hoskins – on a danger-filled adventure to untangle a deadly web of conspiracy that could get them both killed.
Sassy, suspenseful and always entertaining, Princess of the Savoy will delight readers looking to escape into a world of glamor, danger, treachery and a dead body or two – where there is always time for just one more cocktail, even when democracy itself is at stake.
Ron Base is a former newspaper and magazine journalist and movie critic. His works include twenty novels, two novellas and four non-fiction books. Base lives in Milton, ON.
Prudence Emery worked as the press and public relations officer at the Savoy Hotel, and later as a publicist on more than a hundred film productions. She is also the author of the bestselling memoir Nanaimo Girl (Cormorant Books, 2020). She lives in Victoria, BC.
