He has been sent by his superiors to oversee the investigation, but is he supposed to help or hinder?
At the next table, octogenarian superspy Edie Banister nibbles a slice of cake and struggles not to become Miss Marple.
But what is the connection between the two?
Who killed Donny Caspian, and why?
Taking in Rice's present and Edie's daring past, from duels on shipboard to death in back alleys, "Edie Investigates" is a superb short story from the incomparable Nick Harkaway.
