Publisher's Synopsis
Macdonell unmasks the unpleasant side of London West End Society of the 1930s. He exposes the hypocrisy of the monied class and with biting satire weaves a tale of intrigue, turning it into a thriller. His character depiction of war-profiteer Sir Montagu Anderton-Mawle is a masterpiece and he ably defines all that is wrong in the world.
