'Scores of men and women died daily in London, but on this
day of days one
of them had died in the very midst of a crowd and the
cause of his death
was a dagger piercing his heart. Death had become
something very real.’
When Bobbie Cheldon falls in love with a pretty young
dancer at the Frozen
Fang night club in Soho, he has every hope of an idyllic
marriage. But
Nancy has more worldly ideas about her future: she is
attracted not so much
to Bobbie as to the fortune he expects to inherit.
Bobbie’s miserly uncle
Massy stands between him and happiness: he will not
relinquish the ten
thousand a year on which Nancy’s hopes rest. When Bobbie
falls under the
sway of the roguish Nosey Ruslin, the stage is set for
murder in the heart
of Piccadilly – and for Nancy’s dreams to be realised.
When Chief Inspector
Wake of Scotland Yard enters the scene, he uncovers a
tangled web of love
affairs, a cynical Soho underworld, and a motive for
murder. This
good-natured vintage mystery novel is now republished
for the first time
since the 1930s.
