Synopsis

Beloved author Alexander McCall Smith is a worldwide phenomenon thanks to his multiple best-selling series. In A Conspiracy of Friends, life at Corduroy Mansions, nestled in London's hip Pimlico neighborhood, is as lively as ever. While Berthea Snark scribbles a scathing biography of a Parliament member- her son!- William French frets that his own son will never leave home. And to no one's surprise, clever terrier Freddie de la Hay has sniffed his way into a heap of trouble.
