Official synopsis Publisher
Jonathan Mansel, one of Yates’ most popular characters, heads a small private organisation dedicated to the detection of serious crime `by methods sadly unavailable to the regular police’. An aristocratic member of his team is killed, and the avengers set out in pursuit of the murderer in a tale of `violence and a measure of sublimated sex’. Caricatured villains, a page-turning plot and some good jokes – in short, classic Dornford Yates.
