Aiding and Abetting

by Muriel Spark

"It is twenty-five years after Lord Lucan's mysterious disappearance in the wake of the savage murder of his children's nanny and the vicious attack on his wife. The celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Hildegard Wolf is approached in her Paris consulting rooms by not one but two men, both claiming to be Lord Lucan. Dr. Wolf is intrigued. Which, if either, of the men is the real 'Lucky' Lucan? Will Lucan's daily appetite for smoked salmon and lamb chops provide the clue?". "Aiding and Abetting is a novel which races between Paris, London, the wilds of Scotland and central Africa, taking in blackmail, stigmata, Interpol investigations and Scottish monasteries along the way."--BOOK JACKET.
