  • "In this daring and sophisticated fictional version of the disappearance of a dissolute member of the British aristocracy, the artful murderer meets the master con-woman. Who will emerge victorious?"
  • "Story based on the seventh Earl of Lucan."
  • "In Aiding and Abetting, the doyenne of literary satire has written a wickedly amusing and subversive novel around the true-crime case of one of England's most notorious uppercrust scoundrels and the "aiders and abetters" who kept him on the loose. When Lord Lucan walks into psychiatrist Hildegard Wolf's Paris office, there is one problem: she already has a patient who says he's Lucan, the fugitive murderer who bludgeoned his children's nanny in a botched attempt to kill his wife. As Dr. Wolf sets about deciding which of her patients, if either, is the real Lucan, she finds herself in a fierce battle of wills and an exciting chase across Europe. For someone is deceiving someone, and it may be the good doctor, who, despite her unorthodox therapeutic method (she talks mainly about her own life), has a sinister past, too. Exhibiting Muriel Spark's boundless imagination and biting wit, Aiding and Abetting is a brisk, clever, and deliciously entertaining tale by one of Britain's greatest living novelists. From the Trade Paperback edition."
  • ""Our greatest living novelist" - Evening Standard. It is 25 years since Lord Lucan's mysterious disappearance in the wake of the savage murder of his children's nanny and the vicious attack on his wife. The celebrated psychiatrist Dr Hildegard Wolf is approached by two men claiming to be Lord Lucan. Which of them is the real "Lucky" Lucan? Will Lucan's daily appetite for smoked salmon and lamb chops provide the clue? This outrageous novel races between Paris, London, Scotland and Africa, taking in blackmail and stigma along the way."

  • "Based on a real London murder case, this novel follows Lord Lucan, a dissolute member of the British aristocracy, into the abyss as he is accused of killing his children's nanny while trying to murder his wife."
  • ""A dissolute member of the British aristocracy, 'Lucky' Lucan has been missing since he accidentally murdered his children's nanny in an abortive attempt on his wife's life. His puzzling disappearance in the mid-seventies created a sensation in Britain and a tantalizing mystery as yet unsolved. In Muriel Spark's daring and sophisticated fictional version of Lucan's flight, his adversary is Beate Pappenheim, a fake Bavarian stigmatic who embezzled millions from devout followers before assuming a new identity as a celebrated psychiatrist."--Jacket."@en
