Murder at the Fringe

by Gordon Demarco

Semi-retired San Francisco private eye Rocco Conigliaro is visiting relatives in Edinburgh and enjoying the cultural diversions of Scotland's capital city during its annual arts festival. Unfortunately, Rocco's vacation becomes a busman's holiday when a leftist playwright is found murdered the day before opening night of his latest play...DeMarco looks at Edinburgh with a tourist's eye, albeit a highly perceptive tourist, and his narrative comes alive with some acute reflections on the nature of British politics and with evocative glimpses of local pubs, literary types, and scruffy students.""-Booklist
