AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A five-part thriller following a detective's investigations in the London fashion industry. A review in the Times notes:

'This has all the proper ingredients–a suicide that may be a murder, missing diamonds, villains rough and smooth, an unamiable insurance investigator, a damsel in distress, a quixotic hero, and a dangerously genial detective. It is also mystifying.'
