Westminster Mysteries

Another day dawns over the Houses of Parliament and Maxwell Murray, 'Chief of Staff', researcher and what sometimes feels like nanny to the hapless MP Eliot Oakcroft, has much to do. Invitations for Oakcroft to consider, party correspondence, and, here and there, some legitimate constituency business. All while keeping the honourable member for Middlebury-Mid out of trouble and the inevitable media spotlight.

But today, there's something a little different. Miranda Cley is seeking Eliot's help to free her mother from prison. After all, she can't have murdered Miranda's father, Charlie, if Miranda has just seen him alive and well. Max and his assistant Diana are on the case, wafting the scent of a possible career-making miscarriage of justice Eliot's way. But as the mystery of Charlie Cley's disappearance unravels, it quickly becomes clear that investigating could jeopardise not just their careers but their very lives.
