“Selchester Castle in 1953 rests calm and near-empty, its corridors echoing with glories of days gone by. Or so it appears to intelligence official Hugo Hawksworth, wounded on the secret mission and today reluctantly presuming an altogether less perilous function at Selchester.

The Castle’s faded grandeur hides an online of secrets and scandals-the Earl has been missing for seven years, lost with out a trace because the night he remaining his guests and walked out into a blizzard.

When a skeleton is uncovered beneath the flagstones from the Old Chapel, the authorities create a suspect and declare the situation closed. Hugo isn’t convinced. With the help of the spirited Freya Wryton, the Earl’s niece, he is drawn back to active service, as well as the historic town of Selchester can be dragged into the intrigues and conspiracies from the Cool War era.

With some Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie, and a nod to Le Carré, A Man of Some Repute may be the first audiobook with this delightfully classic and witty murder secret series.”
