'''The Body of a Girl''' is a novel of suspense by the British author [[Michael Gilbert]] published in England by [[Hodder and Stoughton]] and in the United States by [[Harper & Row]] in 1972. It was Gilbert's 15th novel and does not fall into one neat category. Over his long career, Gilbert wrote many kinds of novels, from police procedurals to espionage thrillers, from courtroom dramas to chase and adventure, from cathedral and public school mysteries to tales of municipal corruption. Like the works of his near contemporaries [[Victor Canning]] and [[Ross Thomas]], many of his works examined the amorality and sometimes lethal reactions of those in high government positions when confronted by events that run contrary to their wishes. '''The Empty House''' combines many of these elements in sometimes unexpected and startlingly violent ways.
