Edward VIII had sworn to relinquish the throne rather than the woman he loved. But Wallis Simpson was an impossible choice for Queen: she was a commoner, divorced, American. The abdication seemed inevitable. It is a fact that, on the Thursday before the abdication date, Wallis Simpson disappeared. It is a fact that the King himself was unreachable that weekend. Where was the famous couple? Half a century later, the wife of British author Graham Fisher bought a small second~hand writing desk (which the British call a "davenport"). In its drawer, Fisher found a manuscript~one with no author's name or identifying marks. Reading it, he was amazed that the yellowing pages bore a detailed plan to prevent the abdication by assassinating Mrs. Simpson. This is the story of the author's absorbing course of detection sparked by his astonishing discovery. Through letters, diaries, and especially interviews, Fisher learns that Mrs. Simpson had fled incognito to Paris during that fateful weekend in the face of threats to her life; that Edward had crossed the Channel in a two~seater plane to be with her. Doggedly searching further, following elusive clues, Fisher finally manages to narrow down the source of this manuscript, the person behind the plot. And a surprising person it is. Was there indeed such a plot, or is the manuscript simply a record of its writer's fantasy? Indeed, is the account of Fisher's discovery and the ensuing "detection" fiction altogether? Both stories have the ring of truth; the final decision must be up to the reader. But whatever the conclusion, this is a completely involving tale of puzzle and solution that adds an aura of suspense to the historic romance.…
