"A worthy successor to Shaw's acclaimed Death of a Don."
Synopsis
The great Merchet School is celebrating its five hundred years with a grand historical pageant when a brutal death intervenes. Masters, wives, boys and parents are caught up in an investigation revealing dark secrets in an apparently civilised society. Jealousy, sexual passion, financial greed and a legacy of the Second World War provide possible motives. All is not resolved until another death takes place. Howard Shaw's knowledge of the workings of the public school system, based on years of personal experience, makes this a fascinating insight into a closed and privileged society, as well as a traditional murder mystery. "Pageant of Death" is a worthy successor to Shaw's "Death of a Don".
