The dancing men
Kyle, Duncan
'In The Dancing Men,
on the other hand, the plot is emphatically what counts. Most of the
characterization is no more than adequate, and there are some hefty
implausibilities, but Duncan Kyle keeps your curiosity simmering away
too effectively for you to mind very much.
The background is
political, with nothing less than the Presidency itself at stake. A new
candidate enters the lists, radiating charisma - a natural choice, it
would seem, for his party's nomination. But you can't be too careful,
and his advisers decide to check out everything about him, including an
Irish grandfather about whom almost nothing is known. A genealogist is
put on the trail, so discreetly that when the man who hired him is
killed in a car crash the other advisers don't know how to contact him.
But what they do know is that he has begun to unearth a series of
ever-deepening scandals.
Both the genealogist's hunt for the
truth and the politicians' hunt for the genealogist yield some exciting
twists, in a plot that zigzags halfway round the world.
