What is Murder of a Fifth Columnist (Colonel Primrose 8) about?
Attractive widow Grace Latham is invited to a dinner party by a woman she scarely knows, a newcomer to 1941 Washington. Much of the talk at the ill-assembled gathering is of a semi-treasonous newsletter that arrives unsolicited at the houses of the wealthy and influential. Grace learns, to her horror, that Pete Hamilton, a lovably rumpled local columnist, is suspected of being the anonymous author behind the screed. When a competing columnist is found murdered on the terrace, the police suspect the woman who has long loved Pete, but Grace is sure that she is innocent. Colonel Primrose assigns the mountainous Sergeant Buck to protect Grace from her own impulsiveness. There are parallels to be drawn between this tense, distrustful pre-war period and our own time.
