Description
They dug up his bones. They didn't know he had a mind of his own. 'I loved this smart and divinely wry book… what a terrific eye and ear is at work here!' ELINOR LIPMANUnder tennis courts in the ruins of a great abbey, archaeologists find the remains of St Edmund, once venerated as England's patron saint, but lost for half a millennium. Culture Secretary Marina Spencer, adored by those who have never met her, scents an opportunity.
She promotes Edmund as a new patron saint for the United Kingdom, playing up his Scottish, Welsh and Irish credentials.
Unfortunately these are pure fiction, invented by Mark Price, her downtrodden aide, in a moment of panic. The only person who can see through the deception is Mark's cousin Hannah, a member of the dig team.
Will she blow the whistle or help him out? And what of St Edmund himself, watching through the prism of a very different age?Splicing ancient and modern as he did in The Hopkins Conundrum and A Right Royal Face-Off, Simon Edge pokes fun at Westminster culture and celebrates the cult of a medieval saint in another beguiling and utterly original comedy.
