1 6 y separately published work icon The Cell : A Play Robert Wales , 1966 London : Evans Brothers , 1971 Z821346 1966 single work drama The Cell is set in a convent of an order which cares for delinquent girls; girls who are considered by court and welfare authorities to be worth the risk of more temperate treatment. Although they are released into the bond of the nuns rather than being sent to prison, in appearance the convent is little different. It too is a place of high walls, shadows, locked doors and carried keys.

'Mrs. Spender sets her murder in Sydney, in the home of "one of Sydney's oldest and most influential families," and she labors the point of the family's importance—financially, socially and traditionally. "One of the most influential men in this country . . . ttie friend of Cabinet Ministers and Government" is found murdered . . . "Socially, his back ground was impeccable. He was extremely wealthy and reputed to have a finger in many important pies." The police investigations, which the members of the old and influential family resent as a vulgar Intrusion on their privacy—in fact, the Inspector in the case says, "A murder in the Pelton home? It's almost lese majeste"—uncover a "filthy brew,' of which greed, black mail and treachery are the principal ingredients.'
