An independent city where television, popular music, cigarettes and private cars are banned, where the citizens are dedicated to the welfare of the tourists attending the year-round Festival, Edinburgh in the 2020s has its draw-back for blues-haunted Quintilian Dalrymple. But the murder of a guardswoman - the first in five years scares the Council of City Guardians out of complacency and reluctantly turn to the man they demoted. Brilliantly imagined and stylishly crafted Body politic is a compelling thriller.
