Party Tricks — Geraldine Bedell

While readying herself to interview a Labor Party leader, journalist Helen Clare discovers the body of an MP, an apparent suicide. She knuckles down to business, writes about the Labor Party and the suicide, and discovers a possible link between the dead MP and the murder of a ten-year-old schoolboy, all in the midst of several late-breaking political sex scandals. The Labor Party's sexy think-tank man, meanwhile, muddles her senses.
