Overview
First published in 1954, The Odd Flamingo exhibits Nina Bawden's gifts for suspense and memorable characters in a gritty mystery twisting through London's underworld to its thrilling conclusion. This edition includes an introduction by CWA Diamond Dagger and Edgar ® Award–winning author Martin Edwards.
On a breezeless summer afternoon Will Hunt, solicitor, receives a call from his friend Celia, who has a problem: a woman named Rose has just told her that she is pregnant with Celia's husband Humphrey's baby. As Will agrees to help Celia separate truth from possible blackmail, his search for Humphrey leads him back to an old haunt of theirs: The Odd Flamingo, a Chelsea nightclub of sketchy repute. But there is more to the affair than meets the eye, and after a body is found with Rose's handbag in Little Venice, a tangled tale of deceit and violence begins to unravel, spiralling around the shady past and suspect clientele of The Odd Flamingo.
